Baystock 2013

Teresa’s new Facebook profile picture says it all. Happy Baystock!

Can’t say what the weather will be like, this year, but I would pack extra clothes.

We have this year’s line-up on the web site (https://www.baystock.com), so make sure to check it out. Some old names, new names and regulars. Gotta love them all!

Also have posted some old Baystock posters, you can take a look at, along with photos and videos. We will try to get more content up on the site, as we get closer to this year’s Baystock.

Happy Baystock,

Andy

Post-stock 2011

Well, another success. Lots of new faces which we know will return again and again. One weekend per year, where we all have 300 friends (Great quote, Dave!).

The volatile weather was manageable and barely noticeable, as we just enjoyed the music and friends.

We already have some great photos on the site (thanks Don and Kenny). Kenny also got some really good recordings. Check out the web site (https://www.baystock.com, and click on the “Music” link on top, then “Live at Baystock – 2011”. If you have photos or videos to share, simply reply to this email and I will set up an email address and web page where you can upload or send your photos. I’ll make it really easy, I promise.

I don’t have a lost and found list yet (I got my belt back though, thanks Sue!). If you found something, let me know. If you lost something, let me know.

Cookie lady had a great idea for the site. We will set up a place where people can share old Baystock stories. Oh, and yes, Bruce is still with us

Save the date for another concert. Char will be performing at Judson Church, in Minneapolis, On Saturday, December 3rd at 7PM. Check the calendar on the web site for more info. If you or your band has an event, you can add it to the calendar (Select “Events” and the “Add new event”, in the calendar page). I am also going to add a band link page. Please send me your web site address if you want to be added.

Until next time.

Happy Baystock,

Logging at Baystock

I have bad news and great news about the logging job that happened by Baystockland. The bad news is, it happened. Picture a line that runs from right before the main entrance through Murray’s campsite, everything towards Butterfield Road from this line has been select cut. The selecting part of the cut left all our huge pines and most of the smaller pines standing. In between these lonely standing giants are all the other tree tops and brush. This makes simply walking through the woods here nearly impossible without some clearing and clean up. Everyone, even if they are not camping in this area should bring a chainsaw, hatchet or handsaw. If possible, a pickup truck, wheelbarrow or a pair of gloves to help distribute this amazingly free firewood to campsites would be helpful.

The great news is, we had the best logger ever for this cut. His name is Mike Kurilla, he lives in Mason. He found evidence of our “great civilization” and was painstakingly careful not to disturb fire rings, woods piles, and what he determined to be existing campsites. He moved brush away from all the roads so every one is drivable. He did not cut trees in strategic places such as near the fire ring, or the support tree that helps hold up the stage tarp. He did not disturb any benches in the bowl. The old sound booth is still there. He worked really hard with the county to minimize impact for us.
We really are lucky, this could have been so much more drastic and inconvenien

And possibly no more firewood runs for the rest of our natural lives, more like a firewood amble. The land on the opposite side of Butterfield has been logged also. We have been harvesting tree slices and stumps to make tables, longer oak cuts for support beams, the possibilities are endless. The spot looks very different, we can see the sunset from our campsite. We can practically see the license plates of cars on Butterfield. After the initial shock, it’s really not that bad.

Duwayne did buy his property out of the county program to save it from logging. As people see what could have happened to our entire happy party ground, hopefully we will be able to garner further donations to help him pay off his loan.

A message from Al – 2009

Howdy Campers,

30 years, and it keeps getting better. Amazing.

This year we had the full moon, perfect weather and great music. There were many faces stuck in a 3 day smile. Many people spend a lot of time and energy working on things like:

sound, lights, generator, security, work weekenders, shower, digging outhouses, hanging the stage tarp, firewood, t-shirts, wine, pottery, food, tikis, coffee, wine & cheese, face painting, trash and more . . .

I would like to offer a gigantic thank you to everyone for their hard work and kind hearts. I would also like to thank everyone for expressing interest in saving the trees. There is already a donation page on the website complete with thermometer so you can start to save the trees now. It looks like there will be some up coming events to help raise money and have some off season fun too. Andy will help keep us all informed.

Thanks again and Happy Baystock, Al
