Goin' Down to Yasgur's Farm!
In August, we piled into the car and pointed ourselves toward Bethel, NY, the site of the original Woodstock festival. We weren't concerned about the headlines announcing the demise of the "offical" Woodstock 50. We already had our tickets for three more days of Peace and Music. We made our own festival by grabbing tickets to Arlo Guthrie, Ringo Starr, and Santana.
We took a walk around the hillside that held 400,000 hippies in 1969, chatted with some attendees of the original festival, and even got caught in the rain. We ate good food, danced to some amazing music, and enjoyed simply being outside. We did our best to "get back to the garden."

We're weren't driving an old VW camper, but we did our best to let people know where we were headed.
