With splendid front cover illustration, and containing committee reports and resource information, the contents include: Happenings on the Land by Deadly NightShade ("The past month's happenings have left me shaken to the core and I am at a loss of how to write about many of the goings on without feeling like I am gossiping, stirring-up-the-shit, betraying confidences or speaking for others inappropriately"); short The Garden Gate by Radical Randy ("Another season, another time around the Sun"); What I Did on Halloween by The Buzzard; A Return To Love by Lil' James ("I made a huge and horrible mistake. I struck someone I love"); and Thanks For All the Phish by Krown; Rumors by Ocean Agate ("The latter part of this year's visitor season has been nothing less than absolutely dramatic. One drama after another has consumed the community since the men's gathering"); Caretaker Proposals (submitted each by Jaddua, Deadly NightMare, and Wick; Once Upon A RadDish by Ariell ("Since I have been asked to tell my side of the story of what happened last summer by several people, I have decided to do so"); poetry by Ga; A Letter From Jokie.
