For the first time since 1972, the powers that be are shutting down the annual Rainbow Family gathering. The Rainbow Family of Living Light is a leaderless group of people who gather each July for communal primitive camping. (Additional gatherings occur throughout the year in other countries.) These modern-day hippies sometimes gather in groups of thousands. In fact, this year’s gathering might have reached up to 10,000, according to the New York Post.

A kinkajou was climbing on a wooden sign post at a Washington State rest stop, and that is not where this animal is supposed to be.
