Woodstock and turtles....

"By the time I got to Woodstock..." I was 39 years late...LOL


We live not far from Bethel, NY, site of the 1969 Woodstock concert/festival...I did not move here until 1975


In Aug 1969, I was not even in the country! I was studying in Spain! But I would not have gone anyway....


After many years, a local billionaire,Alan Gerry, built Bethel Woods a performing arts center..very nice...


http://bethelwoodscenter.org/


This week a Woodstock museum opened there....very well down..class act all the way...and we got to to see film and artifacts from the actual event


very moving actually..esp the part where the Army helicopter comes with medical help and the guy screams..:"THEY ARE WITH  US!"


we went with friends..also of that era!

also this week, local turtles have deemed our yard the perfect to bury their eggs! by Aug we may be the turtle nursery!


we are near a lake..but they must climb uphill to get here


I guess they like the open, sunny spot

Hi Dutch


The museum looks very interesting I bet you had a good time there. I was way to shy to have even thought of

400,000 went to Woodstock!


roads were clogged, food ran out, heliocopters had to bring in food and med help


you should see the pics of the crowd..unreal!


seems the turtles are done doing whatever they were doing


I was not happy to see them digging at first but now we will just see what happens


if you come here, give me a call!

I so would have loved to have gone to see Woodstock, but well that so wasn't going to happen.
