Wow...amazing writing skills. That was a great read. I highly enjoyed that. I'm sad I missed it. Much love to you Michelle.

I also found myself in the camp of a big dude with a huge sack of mushrooms. I said hello since he was obviously tripping too, and he called me a bitch and told me he didn?t like women to stand around him. I said no thanks, that I was comfortable standing, and then started talking to the guys?s friend who looked kinda fearful of his companion. I soon found out why, since the big black dude started threatening his friend with bodily harm, saying, ?I?ll kill you motherfucker if you fuck with me, and I?m on enough mushrooms that I?ll do it too.? Then he proceeded to gobble more mushrooms, all the while mumbling about how much money he?s made this weekend by selling them.
Beyond a gripping pang upon hearing this, I felt compassion for the man?s hellish state of mind. I decided that I wouldn?t have wandered to this particular site if there wasn?t something I could learn from it, or a task that I could do. So for about fifteen minutes I sat with this hostile guy, talking to him, having him call me a shady bitch one moment only to smile at me and say, ?This feel?s great,? the next. The dude was seriously out of his head on mushrooms, making it extremely difficult to negotiate with the kids that came up to him looking for drugs. It was a very odd situation, since here I was surrounded with beautiful faces on trees, earth and sky, feeling my calm center hold steady, and yet have this dude existing right across from me in such a destructive, chaotic and angry state. I definitely valued the experience, that was for sure, and after I left I went right back to Ripple?s camp to tell of my adventure, which had been dubbed ?Camp Apathy? by Cervantes, newly awakened.
What the hell?? Who was that?
Thanks. I have to admit that I don't want to read all of that, but the pictures ruled. The one of Ripple about to hit the bowl really put a big smile on my face. I feel like an ass for not going.

Great read!
You could have chilled at my house on your way thru Arkansas. Im about 25 miles south of I30. I hope to make the next gathering. It sounds like a BLAST.

Awesome report!!! I know exactly how you felt in regard to watching the sunrise. My first tripping sun-rise experience was probably the most profoundly eye-opening experience I've ever had with any drug.
BTW, I believe it was Phluck who heroicly served the Amanita pinata it's final bashing.

WOW!!!
I read all of the gathering threads in their entirety with all of the pic's and captions. I never replied to a single post. I was disappointed that I had not gone. Then you come out with this "one persons' gathering experience" and it makes me feel worse than disappointed. Now I'm kicking myself!
Your writing is far beyond descriptive, it's enchanting! I laughed, I cried, I lived the gathering in my mind only to come to the reality that I wasn't really there.
Michelle, you WILL meet TM next year. I can't wait to meet all of the afore-mentioned Shroomerites.
I refuse to go through this aching agony again. I want, no, need the same joy and I want to bring that joy to others as well.

Hot damn Ellemysh! Nice fucking trip report. I'm on my girlfriend's mom computer and just wanted to peek into the Shroomery while working on a paper..didn't want to read any posts...just lost like 20 minutes or so on yours. Totally worth it.
I'm still working on my write-up, hopefully it lives up to the predecent you just set!
(I'm gonna put pics in mine too now...bwahaha!)

A non-shroomery affiliated camper in the park. It was weird because I tried to leave once since I thought he wasn't appreciating my company, and he freaked and "ordered" me to stay.
Definitely saw what mushrooms can do to negative minds that morning.

That's strange that this guy had all these shrooms and he was right next to a Shroomery gathering.
