For those who might be interested: Where the Gathering will be in 2007

"This year the annual North American Rainbow Gathering (hence referred to as the Gathering) will be near Fallsville, Arkansas. Directions: Go to Fallsville, Arkansas, which is at the junction of Hwy 16 and 21. From east or west take I-40 to Clarksville Arkansas. There are three exits at Clarksville, look for the Hwy 21 exit. Go north on 21 into Clarksville. Follow Hwy 21 right at light downtown, about a mile east on Hwy 64/21N. Hwy 21 leaves Hwy 64 and goes north into the mountains. You will climb about 2000 ft to get to Fallsville on Hwy 21, it is crooked but a very good Hwy. Fallsville is 28 miles north of Clarksville. At Fallsville you will come to a fork in the Hwy. or a "Y" in the Hwy. This is the Jct. of Hwy 16 and there is the Fallsville Gas Station and tiny storei.

Here you will find lots of cops. The road into the site is to the right of the store 1 3/4 miles. It is the 2nd dirt road on the left. Just past an old cemetery. Just before the 2nd road you will see the "Six-Up" Kitchen on the right side of Hwy.21. Just past this police "Base Camp" turn left into the USFS road block/welcome home. A map of the area is here. Go about 1 1/4 miles NE of Fallsville to FS 1463. Go north, and park someplace on the sides of the road. Make sure all your tires are fully off the road.

There was no clear Spring Council consensus this year, but this appears to be where folks on the land are going. There was a council on the land at the Fallsville (Buffalo River Headwaters) that consented to staying on that site. The USFS has given their approval that this site doesn't have any environmental or other issues that would prevent this site from being usable."
