I did as well. It was in the spring of 1980, I lived in a mountainous area of No. California. It was raining lightly and I looked out the patio doors of my bedroom and saw a rainbow hitting the ground nearby. While I knew it was supposed to be impossible, it looked like I could stand in it, it was so close. So I went outside and tried and sure enough, I was surrounded by, literally, all the colors of the rainbow in brilliant prismatic light. It was the single most gloriously amazing moment of my life. Don’t say it can’t be done. It can.

I too stood at the end of the rainbow! Thank you georgepwebster for sharing your story. My family in SE Indiana often talk about the day in 1970 when we saw a rainbow end in our front yard. We each took turns dancing its its light while others stood back to observe and tell us where to dance to make it visible from about 40 feet away. Others have told us this is not possible, as there is no such thing as the end of the rainbow, but our mother witnessed it as well. It was something we will never forget even though few believe our story.

I stood at the end of a rainbow when I was 7 or 8 years old.
The rainbow intersected the ground 30 or 40 feet out from the front door. As I approached it, it naturally disappeared. I backed up until it was visible again and then walked to that spot and turned. I asked my parents “Am I there?”. From the doorway, they replied, “Yes”. Looking “up the rainbow” was like looking at a million little “suns”.

Years later at a restaurant table, my father was animatedly discussing “something” with friends; my girl friend at the time, interjected a question about the rainbow and me; he froze in mid sentence, became very still and said “I’d never have believed it, if I hadn’t seen it. Yes!”

Not sure if it’s fact or rumor, but I once heard that if you could see an entire rainbow, it would be circular. However, because of angles of defelction and the position of the sun and the fact that there always seems to be a horizon in the way, there is really no way to see it all.

Either way, I’d still like to see that pot o’ gold.
