anybody know anything about the rainbow people?, they are pouring in salt springs. we were told to keep our trucks locked while at the stores or gas stations in salt springs???

yeppers, they will rob you blind, heard many stories about suspecting them for stealing a variety of items through out the forest and camp grounds

Odie, My Mother lives in Salt Springs and told me about these people, the lowest of the low lifes. They live out in the Forest, live off the land, B.S. like that. Don't send their kids to school, just real dirty people. And yes, keep your stuff locked, or have someone stay in the truck while you go in the store.

OK, I'll bite...why are they called rainbow people...I thought is was for...nevermind.... ;D

lol.................. :-X

   I think they are staying at shanty pond just east of salt springs this year. there is a policeman in the stores keeping a eye on them,the big group will be there from 2-14-05 through march.they look like left over hippies from the 60`s????

Here is a google on them

BTW  That Fricking child molester that took the kid to georgia was a Rainbow.
Sounds like some of them aren't half bad but its a good community to hide in for lets say the undesirable people in society.

just went to those sites, sounds like a bunch of BULLSH*T to me.

I was camping at Big Scrub last Spring and someone stole helmets, gas cans, and tools from our site and several others.  Ranger said it was probably the rainbows.

rainbows didnt steal it,locals did.park at the sink,walk up to take a swim left your stuff on your bike came back and it was gone???most dont have vehicles,never met one one a quad or bike.they are mostly good people.sounds like bigotry to me.there's n words and black folk.there's rednecks and good ole boys.etc,etc,etc....think it thru.

                                   T.

Remember when we went on the group ride at Rodman that was the reason they said you cant have more than 75 people at a gathering without a permit its to stop the rainbow people fron getting to gather in large bunches  Jerry

Freaking rainbow people??



Whats this world coming too ???

I thought the same thing...I wont lie.  ;D

p.s. I'm more afraid of "those" rainbow people than I am of some rainbow people that steal ;D but I do hate thieves nonetheless!!

may sound like bigotry, but it aint and anyone who lives out in Salt Springs know them and know to keep everything locked when they come floating in to town on cloud nine because they're high.

They've been coming around for at least 15 years that I know of, always about this time of year, very rarely do they have vehicles, and very rarely do they care about anything other than stealing whatever isn't bolted down.

yeah, I'm a bigot, but for a reason.

Last year they were staying off the side of the road on 90 about a mile or so West of highway 19 and had many campfires going off in the woods right there,,,,no campgrounds anywhere nearby, but they just picked a spot and squatted.

I can't stand them, and I'll say it again, I can't stand them.

Id@

OK,but how do you REALLY feel?...lol

I could tell you some stories about them that would make your skin crawl . If you are around them you better keep a close eye on your beloved DOG ! I heard they taste like chicken . [smiley=Wink.gif]

;D

they are on a level lower than my ex-wife.

hows that?

I might still at least shake hands with my ex.

Id@

Rainbow people eh???  My ex girlfriend converted to hippie'ism...nastiest thing ever lol  they dont shower maaaaan  its like, not coooool lol

dumbasses.

now, to this "there's rednecks and theres good ol boys" thing...I've been called redneck and it doesn't bother me...never seen it as derogatory, however, if someone called me white trash or something along those lines, that'd piss me off...so ya, its "white trash and then there's rednecks" ;)

I heard they were behind the Kennedy assasination....behind the grassy knoll

yeah,thats what i heard too.right after that they were all abducted by aliens then sent back to piss off all the rednecks...
                        T. ;D



what in gods name would they want with a helmet??they keep books with pretty leaves they found as they WALK up and down the appalachian trail.

I wonder if they still believe in "Free Love" ?

My wife and I were up that way Wed. looking at property. We had lunch at the resturant by Elite. They were everywhere, we were about done eating when a group walked in and sat in the booth behind us. Let me tell you they were the stinkinest, nappyest, hairyest, discusting, nasty,nasty, nasty. We had to leave they stunk the place up so bad.

I'm sure there not the one's who stole your stuff but you must be talking about another group of people because all these rainbow people do is get together and do drugs, steal, and not take baths.

what if they trip on that Appalachian Trail....those mountains can do some damage to your mug! ;D that explains them taking his helmet!

Hey  Matt , did  you  get  to  check  out  Eureka  when  you  were  up  there ? [smiley=drive.gif] ;D

Sure did, Tim. I'm buying a little place just up the road from where you ride. Should close on it in  about 3 weeks.

Do you not think that people steal things to trade for drugs?  It happens everyday.  

guess what, I found a group of them set up camp about 1/4 mile East of the little pond where we took the LMK Group Ride picture last year.

They are there and all dressed up in their hippie clothing, complete with the sandals.

I'm impressed though, it seems like this year some of them actually have money of their own because they have nice camping gear and one of them even has an old school bus  :o

Id@

Do they just walk around in the forest... That must get tiring :o

Rainbow people are a bunch of drugged out wannabe hippies. The group travels the country & stays in forests like this. These are the type of people who live in a tree to keep the lumberjack from cutting it down. I went to a Rainbow gathering about 13yrs ago in the ONF. I was with a bunch of friends from UF. These people have so many different types in the group it is silly. You have the hareKrishnas, the filthy unbathed women who are ...lets say au-naturale & harrier than an ape and the men with beards to their waist & hair to match. There are large groups of filthy nudists also. At night they all come to a clearing in the forest & build a HUGE fire & dance naked and drugged out all around it all night long to the beat of homeade leather drums. Trust me you wont get a treat looking at these nudists, unless you are into filth & hair all over. The year I was there a girl was raped & killed in front of her boyfriend who they tied to a tree in the forest & made him watch then killed him. IMHO this group is just trying to figure out how not to contribute to society in a productive manner & tons of derelicts & convicts on the run are in this group for anonymity.

you  forgot that they steal anything they can get their hands on.

why do you think that even though I'm in a neighborhood up here, I have three locks on my quad/trailer.

Id@

i read about them last weekend, whoa, :o they're FREAKS. They're like modern day hippies, for crying out loud, take a bath!

I think we may haves olved the skunk ape myth, its just a Rainbow person that hasn't shaved or bathed in a few decades.  ;D

Just one point guys... I lived in the 60's. Hippies BATHED. It was their 4th favorite thing to do.

Sex, drugs, rock and roll, and bath. Ever see the cover to the Woodstock album? They were even bathing on there. It was a great excuse to get naked.

Hippes were not dirty. Hairy.... I'll give you that one.

So you're telling me that if I join the rainbows, I can live naked, unshaven and filthy, with no money, in the middle of nowhere, and dance with stinky hairy drugged out naked Harrikrishnas to the beat of a homemade drum...... Does the drum have to be home made?

rainbow people? Sounds like a bunch of jeff gordon fans !!

ahhh, ole jeffy boy, the driver we all love to hate.

I guess like everything else these days dont hassle the sorry
a$$ people.Just us hard working law abiding money spending
citizens.I think I saw a few of those rainbow people under the
overpass with a sign .Oh sorry dont wanna give a bad name to
bums.

just wanted to clear some stuff up here the ocala gathering is a shithole with shady people. and its looked down on by real rainbows, ocala is not a representation of the true rainbows .also alot of these people are hard working much like yourselves, others are not and are "dirty hippies" but thats something you rednecks will never get. much like i will never get you guys so no hard feelings.

Since when do hippies have computers ???



I will never get you guys ::)

or atv's for that matter ;) im not your typical hippie as matter of fact  i just look like one.the hippy is a misunderstood creature its habitat could range from the middle of the forest to a nice neighborhood, and actually own the house ;D

sounds like you know what your talking about.if a rainbow wants to camp in the forest,fine with me.I dont think everyone that rides an ATV is a redneck.I dont think the stores and gas stations hire off duty police for no reason.if you look on the rainbow websites they all list ocala as one of there gatherings.????? will the real rainbow please stand up!

Wow, when did this become HippyFlorida.com?  All I can say is that I will be packing when I ride/camp.  Hopefully nobody will want my things that bad.  But, if they do.......

first of all i am not a rainbow i see some of their belief's as kind of hypocrytical. "rainbow websites" you see there should be no such thing.there is nothing "official" when it comes to the rainbows . the ocala gathering is not even planned by the rainbow council anymore.its more of a party in the woods these days and tons of shady characters go there like gutter punks and hobos.i dont know about the stealing since ive never been there and i have no idea whos doing it but i know a real rainbow wont steal.

so I guess since my grandfather back in the 70's hated it when they came to town that this is a "new" thing?  The only nice people I have met near them have been the people looking for them to see what they are about(if anything).

And, if the Ocala "gathering" is not even sanctioned by the "rainbow council", why is it that they actually filled out a permit with the ranger station for ONF?

something about your "knowledge" of the rainbows is flawed from my point of view.

where's Eric Cartman when you need him?

Id@

too many mushrooms [smiley=Nuke.gif]

i never said this was new they have been around since the early 60's. the fact that they signed the permit should tell you it was not real rainbows.they dont sign permits they never will.the guy that went ahead and signed the permit in the name of rainbows.is from the christian jesus rainbows or whatever they are called. this guy has been running it for years he is no rainbow.like i said all of the problems you guys are havin in ocala are from drifters,gutter punks, that slowly took over the ocala gathering over the years.

yes but,,,,if what you say is true, then these "rainbow" people that inhabit ONF and have done so for decades are supposed to be the few bad apples.

then how is it that an entire new generation of "few bad apples" have continued the tradition?

it makes your argument very hard to believe since it spans decades and generations.

ATVers run into much the same problem with the "few bad apples" but not that spans generations.

Id@

i like to call them bumbs and throw taco bell hot sauce at them. and when they try and do something hti em in the forhead and pull out their hair .... hahahahahaa stupid homeless people

every group has its badseeds. the nature of rainbow gatherings alows for anyone to come and reak havvock on the rainbows and the town/locals. i asume you are refering to fast eddie and his crew of rejects they are a bunch of old drunks that have been around since the 60's and are refferd to as the a-crew.they have been causing trouble at greatful dead concerts and rainbow gatherings for decades stealing, beating people up and dosing them. this guy is like keith richards i tell ya. i have no idea how he's alive he's been wearing the same cloths for about 30 years.he recruits lots of young lost souls also.

That would be a waste of hot sauce!

I will ask again...when did this become HippyFlorida.com?  I agree with Eric Cartman.

Friends don't let friends mix bums and hot sauce.  ;D

HAHAHAH YES THEY DO, One drives one throws thats how it works then the people in the back laugh their AZZES OFF!!!!!!!!!

Wow, 5 whole posts and he has us all figured out! I'm impressed!

they are still called rainbow people. hahahahahahahahahah

vote for pedro.
