Please protect this Beautiful Land.

¢¾ Walk softly. Harm no living thing. Harmonize - Blend in. Use only
down, dead wood. Cut
no living trees. Preserve the Meadows¡¦camp in the Woods. We are
caretakers of this land. Everyone sharing makes a strong Human Tribe!

¢¾Please Protect the Water Sources by staying out of DELICATE spring
areas. Avoid camping, peeing, shitting, washing above spring areas.
Keep ALL soap out of streams, springs, creeks or the river! Use a
bucket to take your bath at least 200 feet away from the water source.
To be certain drinking water is safe: boil it!

¢¾Use the slit trenches or covered latrines - cover your paper & waste
with ashes or lime, wash hands after. Break the fly/illness
connection: shit-fly-food-you! Dig no shitters near water areas or
kitchens. Protect our Health!

¢¾Use your own cup, bowl & spoon! Wash them after eating and rinse in
bleach-water.
Visit C.A.L.M. if you feel ill - especially if you have a contagious
disease - or are injured.

¢¾Camp Together - Establish neighborhoods. Community Fires only! ~
Each
with 5 gallon
bucket with water and shovel for Fire Protection. If you are the last
to leave a fire PUT IT OUT! Please, NO Fireworks! Watch your gear: Be
Responsible ~ "Tempt Not Lest Ye Be Lifted From."

¢¾Pets are discouraged but if you must bring them keep them fed, on a
leash and out of the
kitchens, springs, fights & packing up. Clean up their poop. Love
them.

PACK IT IN - PACK IT OUT !!!

¢¾Cleanup begins when you arrive. Bring in only what is necessary.
There is no janitor here¡¦you are the cleanup crew. Separate garbage
for recycling. Please don't litter. Compost in pits only.

¢¾You are the Gathering! Participate in Shanti Sena (the peace keepers
council), activities, councils, work crews, workshops. Volunteer
wherever needed: kitchens, welcome home, fire watch, parking lot,

R-E-S-P-E-C-T your Sisters & Brothers energies.
Keep the Balance: Earth, Sky, Trees, Water & People!

¢¾Alcohol is Discouraged, Weapons are Inappropriate, Violence is
contrary to the Spirit of the Gathering. Please take no photographs or
videos of people without their permission. Discourage Drug Abuse.

¢¾Buying and selling endangers our legal right to be here. The Magic
Hat is our Bank, donate early to fund our needs. The Magic Hat goes
around at mealtime circles and with the Magic Hat band. Our power
together is many times our power separated.

¢¾Enjoy the Rainbow with an open heart and you Will see the Vision.

Rap 701 - Happy Trails
¢¾In preparation for leaving¡¦Pack up all your trash/recyclables and
take it away. Take it far
away. Do not impact the small towns near the gathering.

¢¾Dismantle and disappear your encampment. Pick up your litter. If you
don't someone else will have to. Vanish ALL traces.

¢¾ Fill in your local latrine and compost holes solidly with lime and
soil. Remove string and twine from tree limbs. Break up hardened
ground with shovels or picks for future root growth and moisture
catch. Intermix humus from forest ground if possible.

¢¾NATURALIZE! When an area is clear and clean scatter logs, branches,
leaves to look
natural. Disappear trails, renew forest habitat. Water systems are
removed, cleaned and stored for next year.

¢¾Help with disabled vehicles, fully dismantle ramps and bridges.
Water
bar steep places to
prevent erosion. The final crew re-seeds with appropriate vegetation
to complete the process.

¢¾Transport as many riders as possible out of the area. Treat local
folks with great kindness.

¢¾Drive safely and share this love wherever you go.

¢¾¢¾¢¾WE LOVE YOU!!! ¢¾¢¾¢¾

Notes on this site:

¢¾ Please avoid setting up kitchens, camps, or digging any holes
(compost, grey water, latrines) in the low lying areas of the
gathering. While these areas may appear dry, the water table can
rapidly rise during rain. Stay high, stay dry.
