Phil Coyote here. Left home at 14 and met up with @barry Plunker Adams and assisted him and @Garrick Beck to promote in 1971 and organize the First Rainbow Gathering in 1972 in Colorado attended by 35,000 people. Throughout the1970s I assisted in organizing and promoting the subsequent National Gatherings. I wrote a free book online for anyone to read about all this. One of the places it can be found online is the Rainbow Family of Living Light Literary Archive. It is called simply: "Rainbow."
