Cliff Wicker from Hamilton, Virginia remembers: What a trip! From beginning to end. A friend and myself hitch hiked from Alexandria, VA to the festival. It took only 2 rides. One in a dump truck from Alex-15 miles to Springfield. The next ride was a couple of other freaks from NY in a 63-64 vw microbus W/ ragtop sunroof. The sign on the bus was Macon or Bust. We left Alexandria with about a buck and half between us, and we were "on the bus". We lived like kings the whole trip.

Hired on at the festival for set up crew and had everything that we could possibly want. Hard work and hard play. The festival music was great and so are the memories. Some of the best music there was at a free stage back in the woods. Where else could you see Duane Allman, Johnny Winter, Alvin Lee on stage jamming at one time! It was all about the music the place and time, brotherhood of man, peace, love and drugs, taking care of one another..............Boy The times they have a-changed. Yep we all growed up real good. Things are much better now that we are they. I tried to expose my children to a piece of that place in time but was unable to find it. What a drag!
