Weird But True: 06/21/24

Hundreds of modern-day hippies who form a commune known as the “Rainbow Family” are being kicked out of their campsites at a California national forest with the threat of fines and jail time.

The Rainbow Family also designates different areas of the campsite for group gatherings, partygoers, families with children, women and men, according to the park service. Locals were not pleased by the late announced arrival of the band of hippies and fought against their stay in town, according to local reports.

increased fire risk this would have created, the environmental impact, and the blatant disrespect shown to our local tribes,” Ingram said. “Events are fine, but not events that blatantly disregard the law and endanger our land and community fire safety.”“I believe this is the first rainbow gathering event to be shut down, and you all had a hand in that,” Ingram said.
