So the wife and I decided to "go somewhere" this morning... we didn't know where, but we were goin'!
We ended up in Woodstock NY, which surprisingly was buzzing with all kinds of people! We went into one particular "headshop", and there up on the wall was an original framed poster for the concert. Turns out it was 46 years ago today that the festival began. 'Cept it wasn't held in Woodstock, it was in White Lake NY, which is probably fifty miles from Woodstock. The poster said ya coulda got a ticket for 9 bucks for one day, 12 for two days, or if ya stayed for all three days, ya had to pony up 18 bucks. But it became a free concert anyway...
Now the crazy thing is, some of them counter culture die hard hippies that refuse to quit livin' the dream are still around! Only thing is, they're collectin' Social Security these days. Anyways, we find a convenience store and in I go! Got me five dollars QP Take5.
We roared outta Woodstock driving deeper into The Catskills, when the wife yells "OMG! That's a BEAR!" So I turned the car around and went back. Sure enough, right under an apple tree in somebodys front yard was a 300 pound black bear munchin' on apples. Think he had "The Munchies"? I kinda figure he might have had a bad case of 'em cuz he's livin' near Woodstock and all. We watched him for about five minutes when some dude on a Harley pulled up to watch him too. The dude sat there watchin' for two or three minutes then fired up that Harley up with a thunderous roar and that was the end of our bear watchin' cuz that bear jumped up and scampered into the woods and disappeared. Black Bears don't like the sound of a nice Harley Hog. G5
