HIPPIE LIMBO

Great culture never dies and the Hippie Culture, with its focus on Love and Peace is one good example.  Many of us older folk like to say we're in Hippie Limbo because our values have not changed since the 60's and the 70's.  We still want an end to all war and for everyone in the world to live together in peace.  Happily, we are in good company. Bob's three daughters, Amy, Emily, and Molly are representatives of a new generation of Hippies who care deeply for the earth and all of its inhabitants. 

 

MINI WOODSTOCK

 

We look forward to this festival twice a year where hundreds of people come together, putting aside all cares to hang out, camp out, and listen to great music.

 

GOOD OLD ENGINES NEVER DIE

 

Our 'new' 22-year-old Mercedes wagon, Blanche with nearly 300,000 miles on her odometer joined the line-up of cars in the horse pasture, perhaps for the first time - perhaps not.  Many other notable old cars, trucks and buses can be found on the grounds during Shakori week, including this blue speckled bus.

 

COMFORT STATIONS AND PERSONAL STATEMENTS

 

Many random images caught our collective roving eyes.  Camille took the photo on the left.  Amy took the one on the right.  Next Spring, we may bring one of our plush ponies to grace Blanche's hood.

 

INTENSE MUSIC

 

With more than fifty bands, Shakori's main draw is the music.  Camping out for four nights with friends and family is a close second.

 

CAMPGROUND GLIMPSES

 

If we didn't live so close and didn't like our own bed so much and owned camping equipment, we might enjoy settling onto the 75-acre grounds for the weekend.  Rather, we choose to experience camping vicariously by wandering around the campground trails, waving at folks enjoying their temporary homes in the woods.

 

SIGNS OF HALLOWEEN

 

Fall means pumpkins, Halloween and Wild Things.  Amy captured these images.

 

SHUTTERBUGS

 

Amy captured the sun coming through a fabric painting serving as the back  wall on one of four stages. Camille caught the image of another photographer who was dressed appropriately for both camping and sitting in the sun.

 

HULA GRACE

 

Nearly anyone can hula.  Few can hula as gracefully as this woman.

 

CRAFTS

 

Our girls enjoyed shopping among the many crafts booths.  Both the carved music totem pole and the leather hair clips caught Amy's eye.

 

ART TICKLES

 

A wander through this exhibit of fanciful chain saw carvings is a must.  We fantasize about bringing one home to grace our yard.  Camille was taken by the abstract pelican with its catch on the right, although none of us were sure that is what the artist meant it to be.  That's the beauty of art - it tickles the senses and engages the brain.
