LOL! Not drinking the water downstream is good advice. The yearly Rainbow scourge has invaded us in SW Washington this year.

There's a pic in the below AP article link from yesterday that shows some of these fine upstanding citizens, they just couldn't figure out why a cop would pull them over for not using a turn signal.

BTW, I just love that bus, it reminds me of the smelly hippie '60s.

Rainbows, locals bemoan Forest Service presence

Oh, regarding the title, there's a few locals that are difficult to differentiate from the Rainbows.

Here's a line from the article you posted, Jaz:

Christy Covington, a Forest Service spokeswoman brought in with the incident management team, said the agency manages Rainbow Family gatherings similar to how it manages natural disasters, such as hurricanes or wildfires.

Lol!

Yep. I'd treat them like I would a "natural disaster" too!

"Rainbows, locals bemoan Forest Service presence... there's a few locals that are difficult to differentiate from the Rainbows"

I'd prefer to encounter the scuzziest hippies and the most inbred locals more so than any nattily attired government unionist.
