See what happens when a few Rainbows take it upon themselves to play the permit game; the FS denies it anyway. Maybe they want the Rainbows to Gather at a site with endangered species….it’s happened before, the FS wanting us at a site that is totally inappropriet(bad spelling) for a Gathering.
One reason sited for the denial of the permit is because there is only one way in or out…is that because they want better access to pull the night raids that they’ve also done before????

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN AUDIO

The permit situation is just an FS game, not meant for the protection of the environment, the forest, the locals or anything; it’s just a way for the government to ‘prove’ that they have control over the Rainbows (which they never will have because Rainbows are free thinkers!)
your under arrest if you dont sign a permit..ok..i’ll sign..permit denied..your under arrest for not having a valid permit…nice lil scam they got goin huh?
last years permt forced us onto a site 1/8 the size of most, the purpose, force us to impact the land heavily so they can say look, they destroyed this site..didnt work though, cleanup still went perfect
ok, i just read over this site with info on the permits

theyre required to provide reasonswhy it wss denied, in writting at the time its denied, & is then subject to immediate judicial revue
so..my question is, what was the reason cited for denial?
(not that i want a permit orr anything, just curius)
The permit was denied for two reasons: 1. the area proposed for the site of the gathering is accessed by one road and doesn’t provide sufficient access points in the event of an emergency such as a wildfire. 2. the Forest Service reported that the Rainbow Family gathering poses conflicts with forest uses for businesses that have priority permits and activities planned in the area during the same time as the proposed Rainbow event, according to a Forest Service news release.
umm so how many people are on the land now??

ive heard conflicing reports,, but lets go with ,, say 800..

so what are they going to do,, call in the state trooppers,,the state bi’s a few more forest freddies,, an bring in buses to arrest 800 people??

Rainbow Gathering Media Update

12 noon, June 22, 2006
(Steamboat Springs, CO) June 22, 2006–Approximately 2,000 people are at the Rainbow Family gathering site and the numbers continue to grow daily. The gathering area is located approximately 30 miles north/northeast of Steamboat Springs or about an hour’s driving time. Forty two total personnel from the National Incident Management Team (NIMT) are assigned to this incident, including NIMT members, Forest Service law enforcement officers (LEOs) and four resource advisors. The Forest Service is being assisted by the Routt County Sheriff’s Office.

Forest Service law enforcement officers have issued approximately 218 violation notices to date.

An application was submitted for a noncommercial group use permit for the Rainbow Gathering on June 20. Forest Service officials at various levels are evaluating the approval or denial of the permit with consideration of several criteria involving environmental, health and safety concerns. The Forest Service has 48 hours to respond to the applicant.

Public health officials entered the gathering site on June 21 to inspect kitchens, slit trenches and address other sanitation issues. Forest Service resource advisors have also visited the site to monitor and evaluate campfires, kitchens, latrines and other areas that could potentially impact natural resources.

Forest Service LEOs continue to patrol the gathering area and issue citations to anyone entering the gathering area or determined to have come from within the illegal gathering area. A safety and information checkpoint was not staffed on June 21; however, law enforcement personnel continue to distribute flyers stating that the gathering is in violation of federal regulations.

Forest Service Denies Permit for Rainbow Gathering

(Steamboat Springs, CO) June 22, 2006 – Today, Forest Supervisor Mary Peterson denied an application from an individual for a permit to allow the Rainbow Family to gather on National Forest Land in North Routt County.

The application was received for a permit Wednesday, June 19, over a week after the event became an illegal gathering when the group exceeded the 74 people group size limit. The permit was denied because it did not meet criteria set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations for noncommercial group uses.

The reasons for denial include:

The area proposed for the event is accessed by one road, providing inadequate ingress/egress in case of a large fire. A significant amount, 60% - 70% across the landscape, of the forest surrounding the area is dead or dying from the extensive beetle epidemic. Forest conditions are ripe for large fires. In recent years, large fires with rapid spread are more frequent than they have been in the past. This situation poses a public safety hazard.
The event poses conflicts with existing uses for businesses that have Priority Permits and have activities planned in the area at the same time as the gathering.
Forest Supervisor Peterson stated, “The group showed up without any coordination with the Forest Service, even after numerous attempts. Events of this magnitude require planning and careful consideration of public safety and natural resource protection. No one is exempt.” Forest Service officials first attempted working with members of the Rainbow Family in September, 2005, for this year’s gathering.

Large groups have a constitutional right to gather on National Forest System lands. They also have the legal responsibility to attain the required special use permit. The permit establishes the time, place, and manner in which the gathering can take place. The permit process and requirements have been upheld by the Supreme Court and do not interfere with constitutional rights.

Shoot, guess you’ll all just have to go home.

they musta known about these businesses (i.e. logging?) habing these priority permits long before they began the harrassment & citations ..aditionsly, 1 road in does not mean one entrence 1 exit, i cant tell ypu how many gathering have had no road in or out
every national has dozens of trailsw in & out from all directipns
and if there is a road through the site..thats 2 exits since i’m certain it doesnt just dead end in the woods but continues through the site to a fs road
lastly, if the site was approvable as far as access goes for the "business use" the exAct same criteria would allow its use for a non commercial use
do they really think we’re all braindead idiots who cant see through all the holes in theyre arguments?

someone please try to get more info on these suposed priority permits, including the dates filed & approved, the exact locations identified in the permits & the proposed uses
im sure any ofthe family lawyers on site already are on the ball, but still id like to be armed with as much truth as possible when i get there

from Denver Post:
Rainbow campers get court hearings today
By Brandon Lowrey
Denver Post Staff Writer
DenverPost.com

Steamboat Springs - Thousands of hippies gathering in a forest near Steamboat Springs won’t be able to remain there legally, federal officials declared Thursday as they denied the group’s belated application for a land-use permit.

A national task force has been scrambled to watch and cite those who take part in the Rainbow Family gathering, which has consisted of more than 2,000 peace-preachers and is expected to draw tens of thousands more. The Colorado State Patrol and local agencies statewide are set to contribute to the task force’s ranks, said U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Kim Vogel.

"We’re not picking on innocent people," said Denise Ottaviano, a U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman who came to Steamboat Springs from Washington as part of the task force. "Everyone there is part of an illegal gathering."

Hundreds of those ticketed are set to appear before a federal magistrate in a makeshift courtroom today. The magistrate, manning the bench in a firehouse a few miles from the gathering site, could impose up to a $5,000 fine and six months of jail time on each defendant.

The permit application was declined because of a fire danger concern and the fact that the land on which the hippies are camping has been booked by other businesses or groups, officials said in a statement.

This may make surviving in the forest more difficult for the Rainbow Family, whose members depend on runs to grocery stores several miles away for food and supplies. And family members worry that the hassle and the citations may deter tens of thousands of others from joining them.

But otherwise, Ottaviano said, "it’s not feasible for us to try to block out 20,000 people."

If the gathering were to reach that size, as it has in past years, it would match the entire population of Routt County in 2003 census data.

The task force had set up a checkpoint on a remote road near the gathering on Thursday, handing out warnings and citations.

On Tuesday, 15 forestry officials abandoned a checkpoint after more than 200 family members allegedly hurled sticks and rocks at them as officers barred the road. No one was injured or arrested.

Family members deny being violent, saying it would go against the group’s message. Several said they told the authorities that they love them and sang the national anthem as they formed a circle around the officers, locking hands. The officers drew their weapons, and the family members eventually stepped aside, they said.

Rainbow Family members were scattered through a stretch of Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest about 30 miles north of Steamboat Springs, bordering a meadow where they hold prayer circles.
