The Rainbow Family, a nomadic community known for their annual gatherings in various forests, has been ordered to leave the Plumas National Forest in Northern California. The U.S. Forest Service has cracked down on hundreds of campers, demanding they vacate the area within 48 hours or face fines and potential jail time. Despite the order, at least 400 members of the Rainbow Family remained in the forest days after the initial notice. The gathering site has been shut down by the Forest Service as concerns over the influx of thousands of 'counter culture' members into the small town of Plumas County grew.
