Thanks Michelle! We were all the way to the fence “down by the river”, and it was glorious to hear that water flowing by, but having to navigate through all the tents in the field to go to the bathroom was a chore. I’m betting the river might be a tad bit high this year!
Yeah, I’m 3 hours north of Telluride (in Grand Junction) and the Colorado River is raging. The city has even barricaded off one of the river access points this morning. If anyone wants a cold shower in Town Park then the waterfall won’t disappoint.
A Little Bird told me we scored a “Few” More Vp’s
Things are moving along. If Anyone From “Camp Claire”
could get in touch with me I need contact info
Peace , Love and Hippy Beads

In our great tradition of not getting our shit together until the last minute, I finally know that one of our camp (actually a Camp Kitten member, a outlying suburb of Camp Billy), named Kelly will be rolling in tomorrow to ABGAT for us. I don’t know exactly when, but be nice to her, you hoodlums! :lol :lol :lol

Hope, remember this?
Do I remember? It was only the earliest ABGAT EVER!
That was 2009 when we saw the last snow on the peaks at TBF and then were in Telluride again in September to see the first snow on the peaks the same year. Drove in to Town Park Campground and “drunk dialed” Ron, which reminds me, I need to pass his number along to a few hundred folks in the next few days.
Just because I haven’t done this in quite some time…
SUR!!! :evil
We sure are gonna miss ya, Man! :flower
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
I Think everyone has it …lol
Report in that Camp Billy’s main site is secured…“By a very, very, narrow margin” sayd Abgateer Kelly. Don’t know the state of Michael’s site…but whomever has it had better let Michael park in his spot.
Most big ticket items are ready and in the trailer…but LOTS to do still!
any other news?
Any pictures? 
Sorry, I got one hasty email from Kelly
DukTape Man is already in line for Landrush, folks! :flower

A bear-proof food storage locker! :thumbsup
As one festivarian pointed out, it may keep the bears out, but will it keep the homeless squatters out? :huh
where is that? any news on spaces secured?
It’s right next to Kenny and Deanne’s campsite. (#12, I think?)
The only update I have is regarding Flamingo’s site. There are campers there right now, but they are checking out on Monday. SO, they have a couple of days to get someone up there to take over the spot.
All of camp Billy and the Az Bowl are secure.
Small hitch…Parks & Rec expanded the area in Camp Billy they tape off the Planet Bluegrass Boundary tape, and all of Sherwood Foret (as usual) is off limits), but so is our spot in the hollow! Sounds like they’ve stepped up enforcement, and the word is that if we roll in Wed. night as expected, there’s no place to call home. We’ll either need to set up and move, or not show until Friday.
:mad :argh
Can you just move the tape? A little bit at a time so no one will notice?
:peace
All Camps are Covered …Just off the Phone with The Mayor
Camp WanderIn …needs to get there like Soon
Toms leaving Wed …back on Fri
Its All coming Together !
:cheers
One small hitch though…No Ron and Deb :eek :sorry
