Campsites on the hill. I took this photo as we were leaving. We camped in a different area.
This was our site. I rented a minivan to haul all our stuff. My daughter and I shared a large tent (in front of the minivan) and a "gazebo" tent. We cooked out on a propane stove, bringing food enough for a month. The white tent in the distance is the kids' activity tent, and the field behind our tent was usually full of kids playing with circus toys from the red-and-white striped tent.
The kids' play area, from the other direction. Our tent is behind the person with the green shirt and khaki pants. Once a ball came flying through and landed in our gazebo, but on the whole it was amusing to have the kids nearby, and their noise was a good cover for Doris's and my occasional fiddle/cello playing.
Our neighbor's site. They had a mini-car, a mini-tent (behind the mini-car), and a mini-gazebo. Later they put their tent inside their gazebo. This photo was taken before our friend Doris joined us, parking her pickup truck in the space between. Doris had a truck tent, which is set up in the back of the truck, so she had a very small camping footprint, kind of making up for our big one.
Not everyone camps with two cellos, three violins, and two violas.
All packed up. The people on either side of us had already left. You can see that the land is not level, but this was the flattest tent site we had had in three years, and the closest to the main stage, workshop stage, and activity tents. You can also see how densely spaced the campsites are.
We were among the first to leave on Sunday morning. It is a long ride home and we wanted to have some time with my in-laws in Connecticut, on the way home. We ended up staying overnight, having a nice, relaxing visit with them.
