Not bored, it's a good story, I'm sure you could tell us more & you should. We were there, it's definately history & some day some George Burns guy will be scrambling for our stories so he can do a documentary on the Rock Festivals, that era, the subcultures. Maybe he will look for a few of us remaining survivors. Face it you were/ are part of history. The 70's could never be repeated, it was great time. Watkins Glen- we drove abot 500 miles to get there in what seemed to be in 6 hours go figure-. Just today I actually ran into a middle aged gentleman who was also there. We talked, laughed & then went our way it was pretty cool to talk to him, I'm sure we could have swapped stories for hours.
