Please protect this Beautiful Land. 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!
Please Protect the Water Sources by staying out of DELICATE spring areas. Avoid camping, peeing, washing above spring areas. Keep ALL soap out of streams, springs or the creek (even biodegradable soap)! Use a bucket to take your bath 60 feet away from the water source. To be certain of drinking water: boil it! Use the slit trenches or covered latrines - cover your paper & waste with ashes or lime, wash hands. Break the fly/illness connection: shit-fly-food-you! Dig no shitters near water areas or kitchens.
Protect our Health! Use your own cup, bowl & spoon! Wash them after eating and rinse in bleach-water. Visit C.A.L.M./M.A.S.H. if you feel ill - especially if you have a contagious disease - or are injured. Camp Together - Establish neighborhoods. Community Fires only! ~ Each with 5 gallon water bucket and shovel for Fire Protection. If you are the last to leave a fire PUT IT OUT! Watch your gear: Be Responsible ~ "Tempt Not Lest Ye Be Lifted From." Pets are discouraged but if you must bring them keep them fed, on a leash and out of the kitchens, springs & fights. Clean up their poop. Love them.
Cleanup begins when you arrive. Bring in only what is necessary. There is no janitor here...you are the cleanup crew. Separate garbage for recycling. Don't litter - find collection point. Compost in pits only. Take your trash out of the gathering and drive at least 100 miles before depositing it in an appropriate trash can. Do not burden the local community with our trash.
You are the Gathering! Participate in Shanti Sena, the peace keepers council, and all activities, councils, work crews, workshops. Volunteer wherever needed: kitchens, welcome home, firewatch, parking lot, shitter digging, supply, front gate, etc. R-E-S-P-E-C-T your siblings’ different energies. Keep the Balance: Earth, Sky, Trees, Water & People!
Alcohol is Discouraged, Guns are Inappropriate, Violence is contrary to the Spirit. Please take no photographs or videos of people without permission. Discourage Drug Abuse.
Buying 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.
This is a 100% free event. Food is free, medical care is free, parking is free. No admission fee ever!

Directions
From points south
From Interstate 70 to exit highway 131. Follow the directions to Steamboat Springs and then keep going to Craig, Colorado There will be gas along the way in some of the larger towns.
Take highway 13 north for approximately 36.4 miles. This is a easy driving black top road but there is road construction taking place with up to 20 minute delays and pilot cars. between mile marker 126 and 127 on the highway.
TIP! Once you leave the payment you will be driving on dirt roads, many of which have private property on each side. You will drive ~ 37.7 miles on dirt roads. There are cattle on the road, some places where there are steep drop-offs. I don't recommend you come in after dark.
Turn right on "Moffet 2 County" road -- a dirt road. The sign is blue.
Turn right on "Moffet 1 County / Slater Creek Road. This road becomes Routt County 82 but I never saw any signs.
At the junction, continue ahead on Routt County 82. Then drive, drive, drive.
From points north
From Interstate 80 between Rock Springs and Rawlins, take highway 789 south to Baggs, Wyoming. Take Hwy 70 east to Slater.
Turn right on "Slater Creek Road / Moffet 1 County Road"
This road becomes Routt County 82 but I never saw any signs.
At the junction, continue ahead on Routt County 82. Then drive, drive, drive.
I don't have the exact mileage for any of this from points north.
No cell service on site, but some people are getting reception if they drive 12 miles back from the gathering. Please let your loved ones know when you hit the dirt road that you'll be out of touch.
