Between 5,000 and 10,000 people are expected to attend July 1-7.
The gathering will be 22 road miles northeast of Cuba and southeast of the San Pedro Parks Wilderness.

By their nature, no one can speak for the group, say Rainbow Family members, and thus cant sign any permit. Without a permit, the gathering becomes illegal, in the eyes of law enforcement agencies, which changes how forest officials react to it and increases the presence of armed law enforcement.
A site south of San Antonio Mountain near where the 20,000-person gathering occurred in 1995 has been the front-runner for several months, according to Gary Stubbs, of the Rainbow Family. However, concerns over the reception from Taoseños has put two sites near Cuba in the Santa Fe National Forest back on the table

I would go to this. Reminds me of flashmob or critical mass bike rides.
Since even reading the story didn’t tell me anything, What’s the Rainbow family?
I think that's a fine idea.

“Rainbow family.” A bunch of spoiled white kids getting naked in the forest.

What? No pic of Cartman batling the hippies?
Sounds like me not too long ago.
If they spend even one red cent on anything besides weed and rolling papers, Cuba will be lucky!
Not only bears poop in the woods!
Like any large group of people, some were nice, others crooks.

In 1987, they had the Rainbow gathering in the mountains of western Carolina. When I was in Waynesville, there was one guy who came up to me and asked, “I’m a rainbow person, where’s the gathering”. I almost felt bad that he had overshot it by 40 miles.
As for the hair...
Mostly freaks & drug users.
They had thier gathering near a town I used to live in and they would come into the local store and wash them selves with the produce mister hose. The store would then throw out the produce and they would dumpster dive and get all the thrown away produce and make communal meals.
The Rainbow Family is a bunch of hippies, either elderly hippy-types (who still relive their glory days) or young wannabes who are in it for the dope and easy sex.
:o)
Awwww: he made you snort!
