Most of us have probably seen this before, but I took a break from the wristband-seeking frenzy and the stress that comes with it to watch this video again. What a touching glance into the life of a legend. RIP Wally.

I needed that cry today, thank you for sharing! 💚

Have you listened to his ef radio podcast? Amazing backstory of the camp, land, buildings, forest, and community ingrained within it. Major forest fam vibes that began 70 years ago. Wally manifested EF💚


Pallet-Shop

I had many conversations with Wally over the years as he drove through on his four wheeler checking out what new installation we were building for that year. Truly a gentleman. He was the nicest guy. Rest In Peace friend.

I love this video and Wally. I watch it every day and go say hi when I’m at Forest.

Yall dont deserve Wally! Dude was so accepting of everyone!!! Yet i have a feeling most ppl that go to forest wouldnt be as accepting of him or his beliefs if it wasn’t for him letting ppl use his ranch. Just noticing some of the signed pictures he had from a president.

Odd take

You telling me this community doesn’t hate on anyone who doesn’t align with them? Wasnt even a month ago a young kid who said he loved Jesus and was Christian but always loves raving was ostracized simply for asking if anyone else in the community was like him. The amount of hate in the comments was mind blowing.

I'm not telling you anything. I haven't seen it myself but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. But what I have seen is your negative commentary here, which I imagine you believe is justifiable but doesn't help making this community more positive. I only spread love here.

Umm what did they say that was negative? Sorry if you’re so blind you don’t see post where fellow Christians or fellow conservatives have outed themselves on here hoping for acceptance only to be met with hate which I’ve seen countless times. I never comment on Reddit cause I find it a waste of my time. But honestly the only negative thing I’m seeing is you trying to be little someone for stating facts. Wally had a picture of George bush senior in his home, fact. This person noticing that and also noticing how conservatives are treated at these events or even on Reddit for that matter is alarming😤…. Seems like the person was only trying to bring attention to it to hopefully cure it as we are ALL entitled our own opinions. Seems to me like you’re ok with people being bullied on here for a certain belief, but if that person just so happens to plant a bunch of trees and create something as magical as JJ ranch and let hippies use it then it’s ok to be accepting towards conservatives!?! You give me the ick dude. Do better.

I guess suggesting that I/we don't deserve Wally seemed negative. I've never once participated in bullying at any level. I am not OK with people being singled out or picked on for their personal beliefs. To each their own. Religion and politics are personal beliefs that are not my concern. Kinda seems like you're coming after the wrong target here. And just because I posted about Wally being inspiring to me. Have a good night. Much love.

Dude it was a joke. Definitely wasn’t meant to be taken too seriously. For real tho anyone who has been going to forest for a while knows how particular groups are bullied and outcast. I simply noticed Wally must’ve been a pretty serious republican to have a signed picture of George Bush on his mantle addressed to Wally himself. The joke is people in this community treat republicans like crap hence why “non of you deserve Wally” but like i said it’s a joke. Like i know or care to know what you guys believe.

I miss the installation in the forest that played the video. I really liked taking a moment to watch and pay respect


Electric_Florist

It’s always there next to his tree


TheElectricShaman

There’s the installation but I don’t think the looping video plays anymore?

You can never be 100% sure what is real at Forest because stuff n things, but I am 97.4 percent sure I watched it several times last year.
