Arden, Delaware

We arrive in Arden dreary and ready to sleep, the neighborhood having been recommended to us by our friend Danielle as a place we could park our bus without getting too much flac from the neighbors. Unbeknownst to us, we had arrived in the oldest intentional community in the US. As Joey began to putter … Continue reading

Rainbow Gathering 2012

SOAK!

SOAK at Prindel Creek was a great success. The bus arrived late in the afternoon after it had to replace a battery that was accidentally drilled into. That afternoon at the Lollipops and Bodyshots camp people fell right into place among good friends and other Burners. There was an enormous spirit of hospitality and openness … Continue reading

Hands down … Continue reading

Night Two

Important update! I successfully closed the bus door on only my second try this morning. Woot! Someday soon I will be giving the lessons and making it look easy. We spent our second night on the bus.

First Night on the Bus

   I’m officially moved out of my apartment! After I went to school yesterday Joel, Emalee, Lucy, and our friend Joey  painstakingly scrubbed over the whole place with a fine tooth comb.
