...and More Rothbury

One phrase sums up Rothbury best: Hippie summercamp.

The "camp sites" are the closest things to communes, with trading posts making their biggest comeback since 1823. Another trend making a comeback from that particular year: moccasins. I have seen more moccasins here since the time my mom took me to see Pocahontas. But that's beside the point.

Poor fashion statements aside, hoardes of hippies - which were frequently mistaken for zombies by the members of my caravan - come here for one reason: the music.

Since Thursday evening, ears - among other things I won't mention - have been stimulated. There is a constant flow of music. Right now, as I sit in the media tent with my cool beverage, I hear every jam band's Johnny Cash: The String Cheese Incident.
