The stragglers at the end made a peace symbol out of some of the garbage.
And no, the clickbait article did not have any photos of the garbage left behind.
And how many tons of peaceful debris was left behind? Haven’t changed much. At the dermos office the other day a guy about my age (70) was wearing a T-shirt with a USMC logo on it and the words “The Only Woodstock I Remember From ‘69” and a depiction of two crossed M-14s. I told him I liked it. Even though they were in the process of being phased out.
Just as an aside about the M-14, yeah I am aware that they are still in inventory and in use in some theaters.
“And how many tons of peaceful debris was left behind?”
One estimate places it at 1400 tons.
I qualified on the M-14 in the summer of 1969, one of the last to do so. While the hippies were at their Woodstock garbagefest, I was training for an all expenses paid trip to Vietnam. Later I played my cards right and got into helicopter school.
Didn’t fire an M-14 until I bought an M1A a few years ago. Geez, what a pleasure to shoot after years of M-16.
Anyway, the Woodstock Generation will be with us until they are groovin’ to the rock sounds from their walkers & wheelchairs.
