You don't have to be an active scout to attend, but you have to be self-sufficient. There may not be a tarp, or any food other than what you bring. We will be holding silence on the morning of the fourth until noon (Local Apparent Solar Time, which may be close to 1:00PM Eastern Daylight Saving Time). Silence will be broken by an OM circle (or square or triangle) when the shadow touches the marker. Several people from the east coast will gather north of Mount Moosilauke in the White Mountains of New Hampshire from August 21 through August 30 (2009). Presently no specific kitchen has made a commitment to providing daily meals so be prepared to be self sufficent or to help manifest kitchen supplies and a crew. No one has committed to putting together a CALM, so bring your own first aid and medical supplies and be prepared to be responsible for your own health. (Be prepared and be responsible! That advice applies to your whole life, but especially here.)
If you can't get a kitchen together, you could bring a big bag of rice, lentils, vegatables, or other good food. If you have a piece of old plywood, shitter covers are always in short supply. Lime, rope, tarps, cutting boards. Tools: shovel, pick, hatchet, blow pipe for fire, digital oscilloscope (just kidding). Bring musical instruments, toys, and a spirit of love and cooperation.
Since the 2010 Annual Gathering of the Tribes will be held in one of the eastern states, this gathering could be used as an opportunity to begin discussing the possible return of the Gathering to the northeast. An Annual was held in Vermont in 1991 and in Pennsylvania in 1999.
Directions: You can go on either I-91 or I-93. Unless you are already in Boston, and I-93 is the only way out, think about I-91 even if it looks a bit longer, because I-495 and I-93 near Boston can turn into a traffic jam that takes hours to get through.
From I-93: Take Exit 32 in North Woodstock and go west on 112. Pass the Lost River and Wildwood Campground. Go about a mile further and turn left into Tunnel Brook Road (11.2 miles from I-93 exit).
From I-91: Take Exit 17 in Four Corners and go east on 302. Cross into New Hampshire and go through Woodsville. Continue on 302 for about five miles and turn right on 112. Follow this until it joins 116. In about a mile, 116 leaves again on the left. Continue on 112 for 0.3 miles and turn right into Tunnel Brook Road.
Drive along Tunnel Brook Road about a mile or until
you feel like stopping the car. Then stop the car.
Then stop following directions.
