Our Notes
Give yourself plenty of time to drive in and out for sold-out concerts. The two-lane road can get bottlenecked and this is a popular venue.
Lawn seating is a good time. Bring a blanket, kick back, and relax.
Be ready for the inevitable 2nd-hand wafts of what the Summer of '69 smelled like in true
