HOLY COW! That was fun. Unbelievable camping weather. I had on a hoodie and a fleece jacket for late night action when temps were in the 40's. I know what August feels like and that wasn't it. But I could get used to it.
Big Gigantic was mind blowing and I had seen them before and was pretty blase about it. TAUK, Greyboy Allstars, Dumpstaphunk, That One Guy, Floozies, Kung Fu, Stick Figure, Turkauz, Mighty Joshua and the Zion 5, Big Something, Hornitz, Buddha Council, Murphy's Kids, Big Daddy Love, The Broadcast, Orgone, Zach Deputy, Cloyd the V (Ghost Eagle), The Fritz and on and on put on great shows. Didn't catch that much of Emancipator by choice and I still am not a fan off Moon Hooch.
Jackass Flats, a country/bluegrass/Americana band, had one of their sets listed as a Bee Gees Tribute set. A bunch of people thought it would be fun but most stayed away in favor of catching main stage acts. The Bees turned out to be Beatles and the Gees were Grateful Dead. Crazy fun set that ended with the guys from Peoples Blues of Richmond on stage doing an incendiary Helter Skelter.
We do pass thru Highland Co on the way there. That valley (Hightown/640/Bluegrass) is stunningly beautiful. We like to stop in Monterey on the way back and eat at the little restaurant across the street from the B&B. But this time we took a different route home. We headed south on 28 and checked out the Green Bank Radio Telescope, then hit 39 E and stopped in Warm Springs, VA for a soak in the Jefferson Pools and then a lovely dinner at The Waterwheel Restaurant. Probably the only people at the festival that packed "Resort Casual" clothing.
