One of our esteemed Elders, Elder Jim Zim<\/strong>, is traveling to upstate New York. Elder JimZim<\/strong> is visiting remote farms that may serve as an enclave for a group of splinter Proto-WLBOTTers. He is also attending a monthly gathering of the Adult Camera Club<\/strong>, near Woodstock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Event! Neil Young!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Elder JimZim<\/strong> noticed another event was going on the following day – Neil Young<\/strong> was playing an outdoor concert at the former site of the Woodstock concert! Elder JimZim bought a ticket, went a little early, and started chatting with the roadies. He asked if he could pitch in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were honored that they temporarily renamed the concert the WLBOTT Festival<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know you’ve been accepted when the roadies share their Advil with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Neil Young<\/strong> concert is being held at the Bethel Woods Center<\/strong> in upstate New York, in about 10 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

As we zoomed in on the concert facility, we noticed an anomaly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elder JimZim<\/strong> arrived a full 24 hours early to find a shady spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Elder JimZim<\/strong> has reported in this morning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Gentle people,  I\u2019m in Liberty NY at an AirBnB cabin\/farm.  It\u2019s a rustic but nice place – clean, full kitchen, a\/c but don\u2019t need it, good WiFi, etc.  I talked to the host\/farmer – he lives on another property.  Probably a bit older than us – long white hair and beard.  Nice guy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Observations:<\/strong>
Drove up [from Maryland].  No train service.  5 hour drive but no traffic.  Stopped twice. Took secondary roads most of the way.  Last 2 hours through Poconos (PA) and Catskills (NY).  Catskills are particularly hilly\/small mountains and 2 lane roads.  Can imagine the traffic jams during the original Woodstock.<\/p>\nElder JimZim<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
