The hitchgathering never have been so close (indeed !), in order to make it colorful, sparkling and whatever adjective you want to add, we will need the same few things as every year :
−
[[File:Quinis3.png|thumb|Zoomed in map]]
+
- big enought pots/saucepans/pans for 5-15 people that can be used on a fire,
−
This exact spot (pin on the map) is mostly a steep hill. A vehicular dirt path runs just south of the pin, across it is plenty of brambley, flat, muddy areas. Local people do come around this area.
+
- the lids that come with,
 +
- other containers for collective food preparation and cleaning,
 +
- other big scale kitchen-cooking ustensiles,
 +
- grills,
 +
- big tarps,
 +
- rope, strings, etc. in large amounts,
 +
- a small shovel,
 +
- a solid knife for light wood working,
 +
- anything you/we would need during your/our stay,
 +
- picnic tables, chairs, solar powered coolers, music instruments, flip flops, inflatable swiwwing pool, slack lines, good mood, ...
 +
If you can bring one of these things manifest yourself on the Signal group or the mailing list, if you know where to find it but can't collect it yourself raise your hand as well, maybe it's on the way of one of us.
 +
Even if we always are looking for the less, coins will be appreciated as well to share the inevitable expenses of the community.  
 +
 
 +
About the spot itself, it is 7,5km with 800m of elevation gain away from the nearest road so fairly doable in 3-4h if you are not heavily loaded. From the road, the first town is 1,5km away, the first city (with shop, to be confirmed) 15-20km depending on what direction you take.
 +
As it is at 1200 a.s.l., sun can be strong but nights will be fresh (around 10°C), so come with appropriate gear.
 +
Nature will provide space for camping, trees for hammocks, shade, water and beautiful landscape, you bring the rest !
  
−
The pin is about a 20-30 minute hike from the road (SS52).
+
Concerning logistics, some mountain refuges are only accessible on foot, the supply is left at the bottom of the mountain and hikers can help to bring some things up with them, we could organise something similar so we aren't afraid to show up with a 20L pot or 10kg of dumpster-dived food.
−
# Following a dirt path across an open field/ pasture, then passing through a row of trees and bushes;
 
−
# then crossing a dry river bed. The river bed is accessed from a well-used dirt ramp for offroad vehicles. The bed of the Tagliamento River itself is mostly pebbles and hikable. East of/ at the confluence "Degano" there is clean river water that is drinkable. From the vehicular bridge at Invillino, the water is no higher than knee height. Water levels might be lower in the summer, otherwise and probably good for bathing. River levels: https://earlyfloodalert.com/paw/index.html?commonid=friaul-540-it
 
−
#There is another vehicular dirt ramp on the other side adjacent to an inhabited house. Next to that is a pasture that is cordoned off. There is a constantly flowing tap directly next to the dirt path across from the building. Following the dirt path and turning right, the spot is just past another inhabited hut on the right hand side.

At Invillino, there is a Euro Spar supermarket with super easy dumpsters. https://gopro.com/v/Bb6QmKEvLQoO9

Hitchhiking around the area is easy. [[A23_(Italy)]] is accessed through Tolmezzo. There is an eastbound bus stop on SS52 No more than 30 minutes from the spot with plenty of medium speed traffic all day. Hitching west is easy as well, at the T intersection right across the road from the bus stop.
 
−
The nearest train station is at Carnia.

Hitching from Carnia, the wait was no more than 20 mins. Hitching to Carnia from Pontebba, Bullitt was picked up immediately upon sticking a thumb out in the middle of town.

Go westbound along Highway 1 (E60) towards Oradea. Drive for 62km until you reach Bologa, then head south along 103H and go another 12.8km through Sacuieu until you see a  sign “Pensiunea Sequoia” -  then turn off from the main road onto a dirt road to a place (a hostel). Continue driving past for another 500m approx. towards the river. You’ll then find the Rainbow car park. The walk-in is about 40 minutes.

Dear Sibs, Kins, Mothers, Brothers, and Others,

the Romanian scouting team has returned from their mission. They have braved heat and snow, rock slides and bears, Țuică and psychoactive chocolate disasters. They have hitched with trucks and buses, amateur race drivers and beer salesmen, priests and conspiracy theorists. They have stolen boats, crossed raging mountain torrents and emptied countless jars of Zacuscă. In short, they have left no rock unturned and now bring to you: The prospective location of the 2024 European Hitchgathering! *drum roll*

Gura Apelor, the Mouth of the Waters, is a reservoir lake high up in the mountains of Hunedoara. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/45.33274/22.72267 It was actually suggested to us by our first ride in Romania... and it was a good suggestion! The lake is some 20-25 kilometers from the nearest village, located right outside the confines of Retezat national park. On a random Thursday in April, we saw a couple of other cars up there, which suggests that in August it should be possible to catch a ride up there every once in a while, while not being overly crowded. The camp site consists of a large flat grassy meadow (there would be space for at least 100 people to camp) near the lake. The Romanian state hydroelectric company has a security guard posted on the other end of the lake (quite out of sight from the campsite), near the beginning of the dam, who said something along the lines of "it's not allowed to camp there, but people do it anyway." The people who recommended the place said that in summer hikers sometimes camp there before going up into the national park. There is a water source available (other than the lake). In case the place should turn out to be too crowded or there should be some sort of legal issue, there is an alternative a couple of kilometers down the road: A meadow completely sheltered behind trees, accessible via an old footbridge (somewhere around here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/45.34938/22.74280)
 
  
−
The downsides seem to be 1) that it's hard to say how many other people will be there in August -- it is a public space, if much out of people's usual way -- an 2) that the nearest confirmed dumpster is in Timisoara ;-)

Update 26.7.: The hitchgathering never have been so close (indeed !), in order to make it colorful, sparkling and whatever adjective you want to add, we will need the same few things as every year : - big enought pots/saucepans/pans for 5-15 people that can be used on a fire, - the lids that come with, - other containers for collective food preparation and cleaning, - other big scale kitchen-cooking ustensiles, - grills, - big tarps, - rope, strings, etc. in large amounts, - a small shovel, - a solid knife for light wood working, - anything you/we would need during your/our stay, - picnic tables, chairs, solar powered coolers, music instruments, flip flops, inflatable swiwwing pool, slack lines, good mood, ...

Malga Chiampis is a bivac hut. i don't suggest to have the gathering in the hut, but in the huge valley floor around it. in 2018 a thousand rainbow people gathered there, it's a huge open area at 1200m ASL, surrounded by peaks just shy of 2000m ASL. to get cellular reception one needs to hike up towards one of the peaks around (1 hour hike or a bit more)

! the place is about 5hours hike from the road, hiking trail begins close to Tramonti di Sopra! 

there should be drinking water, else the rainbow gathering would not have been possible.

Someone will check the location again before the gathering. In case it is not suitable anymore (e.g. no water source) we have another location not too far as a backup.
