Google Rainbow Gathering, Utah and Heber City.

We had a national gathering here a couple years ago. They were far enough out of town that we didn’t see much of them, but a deputy that got a call in their area of operations came back shaking his head. Something about all the naked bodies that you really didn’t want to see.

They have been to Utah a couple of times and it seems like the standard thing you would expect from a tribe of hippies. Mostly harmless, but a few petty crimes and littering and pot busts.

No bag limit?

If they look like Ned Beatty, they don't have a chance.

Rainbows...slit trenches, hacky-sack, hippie sticks, naked children (& adults) running around, food lines and drum circles. Most of my interaction with them are simpletons, misfits and straight anarchists. What leftist society left behind to become mainstream, they only have the Rainbow Family to turn to. These are the feral hippies who contribute nothing to society, they're the leaches, the plague, the fringe and outcasts. Even the hippies in NorCal/S.Oregon/Idaho clear-out when there's word that a gathering will happen. Theft, assault, rape, are all too common themes when they arrive, not to mention the irresponsibility of leaving behind trash, destroying the surroundings and general mayhem. There's always a handful that try to live-up to the original cause of these gatherings but, the reality is it's changed from when it originated.
