ICT/LEO movie

love all,..

the ICT/LEO movie is in full effect, same MO as last year, zero
tolerance,... lying, making shit up, false dog hits, boarderline illegal
searches, bull shit tickets... anything to get in your car, tear up your
shit, hassle, intmidate, fearmonger,... fucks.

first round of courtdate tickets seem to be for the 24th of june,.. Erie,
PA. (fed courthouse *i assume*, or another courthouse there,... you get the
jist,.. Erie,..)

last night's movie,... they towed a local momma's ride (supposedly no
legally licensed drivers ((yeah, dumb asses,..))).... they were only
checking it out for an evening,... they left her, her two adult riders, and
their 4 kids (including 8 wk. old child, stollers, carseats, etc,..) on the
side of the fucking road, with no camping gear, 2 hours from home, at
sundown,.. and the fucks smiled about it....

they're alright, they got home (finally),... but still, they have a car
impound movie to deal with in warren, and their fed courtdates t deal with
on the 24th.

bullshit small infraction tickets,.. every adult in the car,... again,
borderline illegal searches,.. locals, gatherers, anyone on that road.

...... and the band played on,....

from I 80

Heading east on i80. Exit wesley go north to franklin then get on 62 north towards tidioute. Go 100 feet
East of gas station. Sign info tba. Turn right on road going up the hill towards hickory creek area. Drive 2.5 to 2.8 miles. Exact mileage tba. Turn left on fs119 and continue to fs552. Go to parking. This info came from a scout who will verify mileage and name of turn off from tidioute tomorrow. Roads are as good this way as other ways.

bus village & site layout

yes a bus village is front gate I think a bit past the gate

Folks on site are trying to sort out directions from I-80 this afternoon. Check back tonight or tomorrow for updates.

All parking is close to the site, there's just not alot of trails in just yet.

It's about 1 mile from front gate to back as the crow flies. 25 miles as the car drives.

Parking

Parking is going to be tight at this gathering. As always, family on
the land has the most updated information on where and how to park to
insure ingress/egress as well as preventing your car from being towed.

No word yet on where handicamp is yet.

Each of us can make a bad parking situation better by listening to
where the parking crew tells us to park.

info on coming from I80

I would suggest Eastbound I80 folks take Shippenville exit, 66N-322W-208E-36N-62N & continuing on 62N/6E all the way to Warren (which might be the safest bet since Heart's Content Rd has a sign saying "Warren 17 miles" ) then taking Pleasant Drive to Hearts Content…OR having someone try up 62N past East Hickory & Tidioute almost to Irvine/Rocky Gap Area and trying that Right turn onto "Lenheart Rd" then right onto Pleasant Drive. I don't know if this route could potentially end up at a dead end like Queen Rd did. Taking 666 for us was THE LONG WAY – another 90 minutes more than we anticipated. I think straight into Warren would truly take less time because of better roads and straighter-shots (less little cutoff county roads)

With all that being said…its only my opinion. But I do suggest trying to take larger routes and avoiding all the little county rd. Those ultimately ate up time and miles something fierce for us.

Large vehicles

stay off of 666 unless you're a small vehicle seeking the kitchen/supply access on 209 via yellow hammer rd. Forest Roads 119 and 552 can be access on the north side of the site with no need to traverse 666.

Blue Jay Bridge

You never mentioned to ignore the 7.6 head clearance sign for Blue jay bridge. I feel its really important. I know Marken chose to try to find a detour and that was difficult until we were told by a local we weren't going as far as the bridge. At this time we are parked at the back gate which is a long 40 or so miles yet time wise seems 80 miles from the front gate. Yes we have ph reception here actually both way have spots on the road to call from. Tell people its hot moldy humid and rainy but a nice sight easy walk. Road parking IS difficult tight and will be muddy.

Better Directions
