    Our group pulled a full Jordan Belfort, said “we’re not f’n leaving” and were able to catch a top-notch view of the eclipse from our campsite🔥

    People were there from all over the world. They cancelled the last day of music which had the fattest lineup, but the festival was great besides. We all stayed for the eclipse. If you were THAT sad you need some friends. THE WEATHER WAS FINE WE ALL SAW THE ECLIPSE.

      I have also noticed how every news channel is not stating the Cardiac Arrest fatality. The EMT onsite took over 40 minutes, then when onsite with the patient, failed to have pads leading to a non-working AED device.

    where's the weather? sounds like a ploy so the sheriffs could shut it down

    I tell you the truth, those event goers. Guest they did not check the weather because a predicted cloud cover was 2 months ago. But, the meteorologist can not predict weather with accuracy. But yet accurately predicted cloud covers 2 months ago through the path of the totality. I wonder if they knew something

      I tell you the truth. I was there and the eclipse went on fine and we all saw it. They cancelled the last day because some people OD’d and because one of them died.

    I had a horrible experience and have been going to festivals and EDM events 20+ years. I spent all day packing and preparing to camp, arrived on Sat and they said camping was sold out. They were towing cars if you didn’t have a parking pass. I would have to drive 3 hours (9 hours total) for the entire festival. Redirected by security for 2 hours. Camping was so far from festival that people were walking 25 miles in 2 days. Pizza was $66 wtf? I left before even entering because it was a cluster f.

    Just imagine if you were still there during all these damn Storms… Don’t Blame the festival for making the right call… With all the dirt roads and no gravel that place is a soup… Think about all the aspects before you just worry about your refunds…
