The neighbor farmers were busy doing the 'I have tractor, I can help' thing getting people axle-deep in the mud unstuck from their locations. Our location was at the top of a small rise so we were not in the worst area.
Speaking of which, supposedly your campsite location is determined by the order in which you register your group. We registered our group for this year at last year's event (we were number 4 to register) and as such we would normally be in the field behind the main stage. (In the photo above, follow the path to the right of the Valley Forge trailer straight out into the camping area, that is where we should have been.) Due to what we were told was a human error we were located further out - doesn't show in that pic - and up the hill. Although the walk was farther that human error actually kept us from getting axle deep in mud since it was higher than our 'preferred' location... Saturday after it rained all day and until 3 AM Sunday morning, that area behind the stage was flush with mired vehicles.
I'm thinking the human error might have been Providential... ;-) (Yes we are registered for next year. ;-)
We did suffer a casualty however. After ten years of service, the Condo Tent took a hit from a tree branch dislodged by the wind and suffered loss of hit points. Now I need to see if Eureka still makes that rain fly.. ;-)
