I can't remember all the details cause part of the thing was being stoned. I left Miami hitchhiking to get an early start but was going to hook up with my buddy John and some of his "fraternity buddies" when they drove up the next day. We said "meet you there" like there was no possibility that we wouldn't touch base in a crowd of 600,000.

These guys had tents and all that other stuff and we set up camp together. One of the shortages that my stoned ass self had not anticipated was water in the South in the summer time. I was not alone in this respect and there was a shortage of containers even - not to mention water. There were a few spigots here and there and long lines just to get a sip - with or without a container to stash for later. I remember waiting in the hot Georgia summertime sun and many a compassionate soul would walk by with a freshly filled container and offer a sip to those of us still waiting in line. It wasn't untill later that I remember some had a stranger twinkle in the eye when they offered their containers - I can still remember faintly the glimmer of the eye of at least one such offering - but my suspision is that I was dosed with LSD from more than one plastic jug while waiting in line.

Later, later - much later - in my friends tent - coming down from what turned out to be a day long and into the night trip - I heard a guitar call - over the PA - and I knew it was Hendrix - and I was called out of the safety of the tent to go see Jimi - all of this next is susspect cause my mind was totally reeling at this time - but I remember heading toward the concert area and a lite rain was falling - enough to make the rutted dirt roads real muddy - I remember this guy sliding off a hood and into the mud - and right or wrong I thought he was like retarded - and in any case people were laughing at his muddy shirtless self - and even he had this less than bright sort of laugh. I was at a bad end of the trip at this time - and the lighting - and the events - all came together in a wrong way for me and I got a real sleazy/evil vibe from the whole thing.

I could tell you more if you wanted to know - but this is a fair good rememberabce.
