Thanks for the memories!

It started on Friday evening around 6 pm. It cost an outrageous $20 for all weekend. Constant music through 0500 Monday morning. Two and a half hours from base. AWOL comes to mind. Seems like there were only a half dozen port-a-parties. It seemed like 100 very humid degrees. The fire department hosed everyone down, somewhere over 100k people. It was more of a shower than a cooling event until the mud pools formed, then it was just fun! The chain link fences that defined the perimeter of the venue were knocked down sometime on Saturday. After that it was free for everyone that showed up. Word of Mouth was the primary social media in those days.Â
I was a very fortunate 20 year old that 4th of July weekend in 1969.
I am a very fortunate 65 year old in 2014.
