If you went to Beltane in SC last weekend...

Hey everyone! Thank you for coming out and making it such a special event. It was truly epic indeed.

I'm putting a call out to anyone who feels the urge, to come up to the location this Sunday and help us pick up trash and recycling.

Maybe it was the 2 day nature of the event, or everyone was having such a good time they didn't pay attention to where they discarded their debris... either way, the place is, so to speak, trashed.

It took a community to make it that way, and it should take a community to clean it up. The land owner was gracious enough to let us frolik on his beautiful property for 2 days, so let us do him the favor of leaving it how we found it...who's in?

We realize that it's mothers day, but what better way to spend the day - beautifying the mother of us all. Sure to be a beautiful afternoon, hangin out with the crew and possibly some BBQ action;) BYOM? We always make this stuff fun!

    golly.
    what went wrong with us?
    this is exactly the opposite of what I would have liked to have seen.

    It was an awesome party and almost everyone had some disposable item in their hand.
    the trash/recycling bins over flowed..... I remember stumbling around in the dark completely stumbly bumbly
    looking for a container... I'd eventually find it over flowing with garbage love. I felt good at the time
    that it seemed all to be in one place but to think that the whole property is littered... that hurts.
    I saw hundreds of new kids and they looked to be in a similar stumbly bumbly state and they may not have
    understood the ethic.
    Maybe a sometime statement from the sound system would have helped......

    anyway, here we are. I pulled out on sunday noon time and I didn't register much trash with my eyes but I
    wasn't looking ... although I usually see it if its there. My mind was on just getting a ride home. Score!

    Sunday is not good for me but I'll try to hop a ride up on Monday noon.
    I love 13moontribe/Raindance/Beltane very very very much.

      Hi all, It's wonderful that everybody is ready and willing to rally but you might want to check with the property owner before going up there. I was speaking with him last night and he says that it would take about six (wo)man-hours to clean the place up and he really doesn't want more people than necessary at his house. I think he is really into peace and quiet at the moment. Just trying to respect his wishes.
      Thanks for rangling the cleanup mission, Alia!
