This was my first step, towards a new adventure. My downloaded ticket/camping permit.

I've skied at Hunter Mountain on several occasions, and saw one of my favorite bands here in the 1980s, but three days of almost non-stop music is a bit above all that.

3
Here's the very professional, polite and helpful staff welcoming area. This is where all the ins and outs, dos and don'ts are gone over.
| 
4
These are just a few of the people who go over the things one needs to know, to make the show safe and enjoyable.
|
5
This is the stage from about a football field away.
| 
6
This is the first band I got to see, And The Kids. An all girl bunch of rockers that I think are worth keeping an ear open for in the future.
| 
7
It doesn't look so impressive in the pictures, but this thing is HUGE!
| 
8
Naturally the name of the venue is proudly displayed.
|
9
It also appears on the slopes.
| 
10
...and one can view it from many different angles.
| 
11
A ski slope isn't the optimum lay-out for comfortable seating, but people have been coming for twelve years, so who am I to beef about it?
| 
12
There's a pretty large area dedicated to arts and crafts and various merchandise. This rug caught my eye.
|
13
Seeing all the food concessions also was a major factor in my deciding not to do any cooking.
| 
14
The Woodstock mind-set is very much alive at this festival.
| 
15
You get to see all sorts of talent besides the musical acts too. The things one can do with a hula hoop are amazing.
| 
16
Yes, and there are people walking around in bizarre costumes too.
|
17
This gal was doing a hoop dance.
| 
18
I can't even keep one whirling around my wrist, let alone do some of the tricks they display.
| 
19
Two going at the same time.
| 
20
I'm not really sure what these creatures are supposed to be, but any children in the area seemed to be drawn to them.
|
21
It should come as no surprise, that while relaxing on the hillside listening to music, many people draw, paint, read, do crossword puzzles and a whole slew of other activities.
| 
22
This is the person I was most excited to see, Courtney Barnett. I wish I could've gotten closer to actually SEE her.
| 
23
She's an Aussie with a really stomping power trio.
| 
24
She's also a southpaw.
