Scouting usually begins in late spring, about mid April to early May, depending on the weather in the area. Snow pack will determine if the scouts who volunteer to travel the sites in the National Forests being considered will be able to get into the area. A lot of National Forests are buried in snow until mid May. So Mark your calendars for the middle of April if you want to adventure into the mountains of New Mexico.
The next step will be to read the groups online, like alt.gathering.rainbow at google groups to follow the online discussions. Find other groups at yahoo by typing in a search for rainbow gathering counsels, discussions, scouts and gatherings. This will produce a good listing from which to choose. Read the unofficial site at www.welcomehome.org for updates that reach consensus by the people who are on site, whether it be at a scout council, spring council, or vision council.
Participate in the councils online, attend gatherings and potluck dinners on a regional level to meet and talk with people who will be part of the scouting process. Write down some emails and contact the people personally if you want to be part of the process.
Please post your questions in the comment section of this blog. Be sure to include your blog link and an email at which I can contact you. I really need the readers feedback so I know what you want to read about here.
Visit mountainspiritpeople at yahoo groups to follow the Mountain Spirit Tribe.
Watch for more updates on the rainbow gathering process for New Mexico in 2009.
Welcome Home.
We Love You.

Preparing for the New Mexico Rainbow Gathering
It is only late January, but time has a way of creeping up on us. June will be here before you know it and I'll be camped at the annual gathering of the tribes of the rainbow family of living light. Now is the time to start dialogue about scouting and councils. Now is the time to move forward on our efforts to change the regulations regarding free assembly on National Forest System lands.
There are a list of things to do, but a few of them take precedence.
Top Priority
Contact the Governor of New Mexico, Bill Richardson. New Mexico will be the host state for this year's annual gathering so it is vital to engage the governor in conversations regarding peaceable assembly and the ongoing struggles with law enforcement.

Blog Advertising Gives Your Business Exposure
The business marketing world is a massive incomprehensible place. With internet technology capable of reaching millions of people daily by simply typing a few words then pressing a button to "send" - almost instantly- the business world grows even larger.
How do you get the word out for your business?
There are so many places and so many ways to advertise,
so where do you begin?

I know what works for me, Advertising on Blogs!
Did you know that advertising and blogs are like a hand and a glove?
What I mean by that statement is that one works better with the other.
Advertising and Blogs
It works but there are so many companies out there who will advertise your company on their blogs by using professional freelance writers, like me.
How do you choose a company to select the freelance writer for you?
Use a company that specializes in bringing bloggers and advertisers together. I work for one that offers a good service and fair prices for both the advertiser and the blogger.
I am going to tell you my secret, well, one of my secrets!
One company who pays me to write posts for their advertisers is
Paying Post.

They released a new layout last month that I find very appealing to the eyes. The colors are soft pastels and the Avatars are adorable. It is a pleasure to write for a website with such appeal. I look at a computer all day long so any way to reduce eye strain is a plus for me.
What is more important than the cosmetic appeal, is the functionality. The tabs are easily designed and located in a way that makes it simple to maneuver the site, even for a beginner. Paying Post's website is not cluttered either, so it is easy to find the tab to a page you might be looking to click.
The fact that Advertisers will pay fifty percent less to have Paying Post hire a blogging writer to review them is an excellent incentive to give them your advertising business today.
And bloggers, don't hesitate to try this new company. Paying Post allows bloggers to enter ten blogs on this site and to reserve three posts per day once your blog qualifies. Having page rank is important though, so get your blog up to speed before you try to qualify.

Troubleshooting This Template
Since I loaded a new template here yesterday, I am experiencing a few problems with the header image loading. Please bear with me as I work on troubleshooting to get this blog running properly. Trust me, it will be functional, useful, informative and appealing when it's finished.
There are a lot of legal links and important resource files for legal research and representation that will be posted at this site. Be sure to check back about once a week to see what's new.
If you have a story to share about free assembly, the first amendment, a rainbow gathering event, or any assembly event and want to share it here, please post it in the comment section along with your contact information, or email themidnightwriter1@gmail.com. I will get back to you as quickly as I am able, usually within a day or two to discuss posting your story here.
The Making of A Walking team welcomes all feedback and we enjoy sharing information. We encourage circulating important news and stories of interest to the people in general. If you have an upcoming event, please share that with us as well. There will be a page developing that will feature lobbying for rights, assemblies for prayer or speech, any marches or protests or initiatives taken by those striving to protect our rights. This includes letter writing campaigns to public representatives. Your input on how to develop this section on the blog is welcome.
Till then, join us in the making of a walking in Alexandria and Washington DC.

Preparing for New President
I am wondering what changes will occur when President Elect Barack Obama and Joe Biden take office after the Inauguration on January 20, 2009. Many noticeable changes have already taken place since their election as they make transition from one administration to the next. America is being prepared for an overhaul like it was an old '57 Chevy being taken to the garage to be rebuilt.
Some very important issues relative to rights, freedoms, the constitution and how the administration will relate and how they will govern will be on the forefront of our concerns.
Free assembly is still the most basic crucial right for all people. Protected under laws as a basic tenet to the American people, this is one right we will strive to protect and secure even further. Given our work with the Forest Service regarding the free assembly of the people on national forest system public lands over the past twelve years, it is the heart of our struggle.
36 CFR 251 & 261.10(k) loom on the horizon as either a great obstacle or a great triumph as we work to secure better written legislation governing this basic right of assembly. This next four years will be an intense focus for us.
It will begin and end in Washington DC before the House of Congress. Walk with us as we continue the journey back to the rights afforded when this great nation was founded by many of our forefathers and foremothers.
We are attempting to secure appointments with Senators regarding efforts to convince the next Undersecretary of Agriculture to give us voice now that Mark Rey has ended his seven year term and become a private citizen, as of yesterday January 9, 2009.
Letters are being written to Senators, Congressmen and women, the Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson, and citizens of this country to encourage continued dialogue on these regulations that have plagued the people who gather for spiritual worship and peaceable assembly every year in our national forests.
Watch for updates on the meetings that result from this effort. Letters will be posted in pdf file attachments as soon as I am able to transfer those files and finish making contact.
Come back to look for updates often. Tell us how you feel about free assembly as a first amendment right and tell us how this affects you if it is restricted.
Thanks for visiting.
