Local's Perspective of the Gathering (Before and After)

 

These series of videos were created by a local and show the before, during, and after showing the land fromTravel DnA

 During the Gathering

 This is a compilation video of 4 trips up to Adam's Park in NW Colorado. It was the 50th Anniversary of the Rainbow Family Gatherings, and they chose a spot in the Routt National Forest, in our backyard. Adam's Park is very special to our family and we decided to take several trips up to the Gathering, to document the set-up, the festivities and most importantly the clean-up, reclamation and impact to the land. The Rainbow Family requested that we refrain from taking direct pictures of people without their permission. Therefore, our videos do not show much of the kitchens, bartering, festivities and such.

You do not want to go to Kangaroo Court However, these tickets are not the type of citation you would probably receive for any of these issues in your hometown.
