| hand drawn 2019 Rainbow Gathering Map of where stuff is... like the swimming lake... main meadow... CALM... I liked camping at the "Welcome Home" Kitchen... They provided Hot Coffee, Clean Drinking Water and Vegetable Soup... PLUS, it was the first place We got to from the parking lot so MANY people walked thru... and Many accepted our invitation to sit a spell... I had the blessing of working there as a FIRE TENDER when the other guys went off to trade a large thermos of hot coffee for Pizza... Someone had to be the responsible adult and watch the fire... and I volunteered... Then I walked over to the Big Shady Spot at Main Meadow... In UTAH, the elevation requires that you pay attention to SUNBURN and Sitting in the Shade is a Blessing... |

Rainbows gather under the tarp covering one of the Rainbow Family Gathering’s kitchens Wednesday in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest south of Iron River.   A Rainbow relaxing at Camp in the Wisconsin Forest.  MORE INFO: https://minnesconsingathering2019.blogspot.com/  Iron River, Wisconsin FOREST ROAD 412: Some good advice for when you are just arriving at the Site of the Rainbow Gathering itself: The final road, Forest Road 412 is a ONE WAY road. When you see cars parked along the road, on the right hand side, pull off, making sure that all four of your wheels are off the roadway. Get your gear and begin to hike to the trail head. If you see a better parking spot, leave a friend there to hold it for you, and go back and bring your vehicle forward. If you start driving the road hoping for an open spot, and there is NOT one, you will need to do a full 30 minute drive around the loop to come back down the one-way road again. Official Forest Services Website https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/cnnf/landmanagement/?cid=FSEPRD638008 The Rainbow Family of Living Light chose to hold its 2019 annual gathering on the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest on the Washburn Ranger District. The unauthorized gathering site will be located near Canthook Lake off of Forest Service Road 412 near the town of Delta, about 20 minutes from Iron River, Wisconsin. The gathering is expected to last through the July 4 weekend. After that, several Rainbow Family members stay on site for several weeks to work on clean-up and rehabilitation.
Get and use Permethrin for ticks, Lyme big issue this year!

Hey everyone. This gathering is literally in my backyard. Like I can walk to it through woods. I know this place real well. You need to bring permethrin for your clothes and a old cotton sheet that you can tie to a stick like a flag and sweep grasses around tent and on paths for tics they cling to cotton then kill them. This is deer tic heaven and lymes is probably your biggest concern In these woods. They are everywhere. Tic check daily do not miss a day. Always be watching everyone else too. It is very serious. I’ve lived most of my life here and haven’t contracted it yet but have treated for it a few times just in case. I just had one imbedded this morning from 5 minutes in the woods yesterday. If they remain on you for 30 hours you need to go get a dose of antibiotics antibiotics are effective within first two weeks after infection. If you wait they become ineffective quickly. So many people around here have lymes disease.
You can buy pemethrin anywhere but if you go to an agricultural store they have it in concentrate and ten bucks worth will make ten gallons of spray and it last a month on the clothes you treat and it works they die when they get on your clothes. Also do not wear clothing til it has dried after spraying it causes nerve problems. This tic and mosquito repellant is made from marigold plants. They haven’t been to bad yet this year. This was my first one this year. But that means the hatch has started. I tell you this because I love you! 💕 |
