Someone needs to get out there to take some before and after pictures to show how much hippies love the environment and take care of Mother Earth. I expect trash (and other) piles will scar the landscape.

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

I thought it was a bunch of queers getting together.

most of the hippie types also belong to such orgs as PETA, HSUS, Defenders of Wildlife, etc. These groups give ZILCH of their millions to restore/manage wildlife populations, or even help cats ands dogs.

In contrast, hunters and anglers have contributed billions to restore/manage wildlife populations in excise taxes

Cuba is a small town on US Hwy 550 about 60 miles northwest of the ABQ metro area. It's one of the jumping-off points into the Jemez mountains.

They damn near destroyed some salmon spawning grounds in Idaho several years back (2002 IIRC). They trampled areas around the headwaters of streams, left trash, human waste, and a trail of slime wherever they went. They also left several broken down nazi mobiles in their wake. They used the gas stations in the nearby town to bath. They stole stuff, and left a general disarray.

And yet, us conservatives hate nature. Every time I get into the outdoors, I pack out more garbage than I ever could have brought in.

Good! They fouled up the Hoosier National Forest about 10 years ago. I hope they stay out west.

The Rainbow Family of Living Light, also known as The Rainbow Family, are a loosely affiliated group of individuals committed to principles of non-violence and non-hierarchical egalitarianism.

Founded in 1972 in the United States, the Rainbow Family has held annual Gatherings in National Forests for the first week of July each year. The Rainbow Gatherings are non-commercial and all who wish to attend peacefully are welcome. There are no leaders, and traditionally the gatherings take place for a week, with a primary focus on the Fourth of July in North America, when attendees pray, meditate, or observe silence in a group effort to focus on World Peace. Thus, the name Rainbow Family of Living Light is a reflection of both the emphasis on welcoming people of all races, religions, ethnicity, and social status, as well as a spiritual focus towards peace.

Big old funny and eirie laugh from my wife and I.

From the neck up the gal in the picture looks like an old and semi reformed hippy gal we know in her early 60’s, and very much like her 30 year old daughter.

You know it’s bad when you breathe a sigh of relief that the national forest they picked isn’t the national forest near you...
