I forget whether you were there in 1998, the first year. There were five or
six of us, counting Jim. I was the first to camp overnight (froze my rear
then, too). Somewhere I have an underexposed picture of Jim, leaning on his
pickup loaded with tubs with the fading red sunset in the background.
By 1999 we had maybe half a dozen tents overnight, with lots of people
coming and going all day. I'm pretty sure you were there. That was the
year I was cooking mash at an improvised table, reaching behind my head to
pluck another apple off the tree once in a while. I recall that afternoon
as a single, six-hour-long sneeze. I still am using that mash, it has
mellowed a little bit but is holding up fine.
In 2000 Linda and I showed up way late; the film crew caught Jim greeting me
not long before they left. By now it was motor homes and big plans. And
mud.
2001 is the best-documented event yet, best planned and with weather as
difficult as usual. We were among the last to leave, which really hurt
because the day was becoming so nice. Man, it felt very far from home,
though. This time I made a purira sauce, which I think is hotter than the
hab sauces I made.
