Occupy The Gorge - Mosier Occupation Nov 4-11, 2011
During the week, I saw several Occupy The Gorge and Occupy Mosier signs throughout Hood River. Saturday morning, I made a special trip to see Occupy Mosier for myself.
Mosier has a reported total population of 430 - not your typical urban center being occupied. And a long way from Wall Street.
It was an overcast, rainy morning with not much activity. A few campers were straightening signs. I told them I was taking pics for our blog. They invited me to have some coffee and join the discussion. With my age, and my Audi parked next to me, I think they were being nice, not expecting me to accept the invitation. They were right; although I would have except for the appointment in 30 minutes.
They did say they were the smallest Occupy movement and proud of it.
Occupy The Gorge/Mosier is different as there is a specific timeframe for it to end. The last day of Occupy Mosier is Novembe
r 11, 2011.
The Occupy The Gorge web site indicates they were encouraged by Mosier residents to Occupy. Some of the residents also want them to leave. While driving by, I saw a person waving his arms and shouting to the campers. He also left his own sign with his First Amendment rights clearly expressed.
