   How unfortunate! I once came across one of these gatherings
   in the Big Sur area (of course they were camped around the hot
   springs). I thought I had walked into the filming of the
   Last Temptation of Crist...the sequel! Four days later I had
   looped back to the spot where I had seen them last; they had
   since hiked out, and the place was trashed. I just despise large
   groups of backpackers, whether it be Rainbowers, Sierra Clubbers,
   or the Boy Scouts. People who travel in packs "tend" to be very
   destructive.
I find this very surprising.  I have read a great deal about Rainbow
gatherings and they make quite an effort to return the area to its
initial state.  Are you sure it was a Rainbow gathering?
