This is the third year for the Mountain Festival, which we usually hold at Seneca Rocks, WV around Labor Day. I heard there was some discussion about a WV meetup on this board, so I wanted to direct interested parties towards this thread over on the Anthropik forums:

We’re doing some initial planning about this year’s festival, which may be a bit bigger and more ambitious than previous years if there’s sufficient interest.
We’re taking another look. I can’t promise anything. We may be able to swing it, then again, we may not. Some of that depends on when the Festival is, but, unfortunately, the whole thing is so fraught with dependencies, there’s no way we can definitively say.
What would make it easier? When and where for the Festival is still fraught with dependencies, too.
It’s not so much the where, just the when. I’d hate for you to start changing the dates to suit us. I’d rather get the final date, then see if we can change some of our plans. What can I say? I have guilt complexes… :-\
Except there’s lots of people who are saying the same thing, so if we can nudge the date and get some more people like you and Jim and Ran and what have you, it’s totallly worth it.
Ok, fair enough.
Labor Day Weekend & the weekend of Sept 14th are dates that we just can’t make fit. If we get enough notice (on the final date), we’ve got a good chance of working something or other out for all impacted parties.
There’s definitely interest, it all depends on letting people know. Feral visions usually draws hundreds of people, but at the same time, it’s annual, and the ‘word of mouth’ is huge. I’m sure if you take an ad out in the GA, and publicize it the next couple of months on message boards, and infoshop.org events, etc you’ll get some people to come. One question though…I was looking at the history. Is this year going to be a group campground? or in the national forest?
Those are the kinds of questions that are, as yet, unanswered.
or what I’m really trying to say is, the longer you wait to see if there’s interest, the less likely there will be any. The quicker everyone gets on the ball to organize it, the more likely there will be turnout, because the interest is out there. The demand for anti civ gatherings is really high in my opinion, especially closely knit bioregional ones.
I’m aware. There’s going to be an official announcement for something at the end of September in the next week or so.
We’re running a Rewild Camp in Pittsburgh 25-27 August 2007, but I think we’ll have to drop the other camp that we were pushing out to the end of September, and towards Cook Forest. It’s just a little too overwhelming to try to plan two Rewild Camps back-to-back.
