My friend Judy sent me some pictures a few days ago of my good friend Wayne who is gone now. I thought of the fun we had and I ended up searching "powder ridge" and found pictures of me and some lovely naked ladies. Wayne and I camped by some great people and they were collecting dope in a jug. We got the jug with about two inches left and chugged it down. I remember Wayne dumping our canteen in and swishing the pieces of paper around and finishing it. It was the most acid that I ever took at one time. I saw some great stuff. I remember a plane that skywrited a giant peace sign in the sky and some ladies asking me to go for a swim. In the pictures they were connecting the dots on my chest(freckles). I had fire red hair then and was 16. I had missed woodstock and went to powder ridge. I met great people and had a super time. It was the best of times and I wish I knew where the people went. Melanie's concert was great. I thank mister softee for puting her on. I loved and still love her rendition of "Ruby Tuesday". I remember that at the entrance people had got into the ticket booths and were selling acid and the old milk truck that drove around the site. We went for a ride with those crazy folks.When the party was over, I remember the locals being kind to everyone. I would like to go there again to see it. Peace
