Hippies intimidate rangers

When U.S. Forest Service police tried to prevent people from entering Routt National Forest in Colorado for the annual Rainbow Family gathering, hundreds of the hippies surrounded the cops. The rangers at first drew shotguns, but when the campers refused to budge, the cops backed down and drove away, abandoning their checkpoint.

Over 15,000 people attend the annual event, which is held in different parks each year.
