Saturday morning

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Sorry that I haven’t been posting as often. The cell service has been getting progressively worse since we got here. Probably just a result of more folks arriving and using there cells.

The show last night was great. The concert field is really nice. The space is huge which allows for plenty of walking opportunities. The site where the concert is being held is five miles by five miles.

The only knock I have against the festival in general is the very limited amount of drinking water. We have been able get enough, it’s just a bit of a pain to obtain

In the shade it is really nice

Since around noon we have been hanging out in the shade canopy that we set up on our site.

In the shade it is around 20 degrees cooler, also a 5-15 mph breeze which feels great.

Going to head into the concert field around 5pm.

Fri morning

The weather was great last night. It didn’t start to really warm up till 10 this morning.

We just completed a loop of about four miles around the festival site.

The photos are view from our camping site looking at the back of the stage.

The first evening at the festival is among us. About to begin the first wander of the place.

The photos is of the main road on our camping area. There are around 5-6 different groups of tents in small blocks around the concert field.

Almost there!

Just went through the security checkpoint. Got the wristband and am just standing by waiting to head over to the camping area

Heading to the show

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Camped out at a pretty cool spot. Realized the next morning that it was next to a scorpian den.

Almost there

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

After around a 45 minute delay on the ground we finally took off. There were 14 planes on the taxi way after us, so I guess it could have been worse.

I figure we are around 45 away from landing (currently 5:35pm EDT). This is a pic of the fluffy clouds from the plane window.

At the airport

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Made it to the airport and through the checkpoint without issue.

I had a McGriddle breakfast sandwich from McDonalds. It was addictivly disgusting, I probably have one every two years or so. Which I think is still way to often.

On the train

On the train heading to the airport. Combined pack weight it’s 60 friggin pounds. Much prefer the normal pack weight of 30 pounds.
