Who's up for roughing it?

[Torrere]

I'm considering going camping this January (if a friend of mine comes to visit), probably in the Cabinet Wilderness Area of Western Mountain. I went camping there last June, and it was incredibly beautiful. I will probably try to get advice from my father, who would from experience know exactly what I should have and do (but might also recommend not to go at all =]).

The Rainbow Gathering! I remember one time during my Sophomore year of High School, they had thought of holding the Rainbow Gathering in my [then] neck of the woods. I remember my humor at the reactions of some of my classmates (in my math class. Are math classes more likely not to be on topic or something?): "i'm going to have to be careful to lock my doors at night so that the hippies can't get in!" sort of comments.

My parents may have gone to a Rainbow Gathering in Tungasket at some point, but all I've seen of it is a pamplet of 'this is what the rainbow gathering is about' that my mother kept.
