2023 – Baystock

Message from Al

Another best ever again.

Weather was good, a little warm.

Thanks to everyone that played and listened.

Let’s do it again next year.

Happy Baystock.

Alert from Al

Keep your eyes open for signs of Post Baystock Depression. Don’t worry, this is normal, you will be ok.

Definition:

As Baystock comes to a close, a vague feeling of being lost begins to set in. It can start Saturday night, but commonly occurs Sunday afternoon. This can go on for days or months, but usually disappears within a year.

Remedies:

Watch videos and look at photos on Baystock.com
Make a list of things forgot this year
Start packing for next year
Set up a tent and sleep in it for a week
Wear the same clothes for three days in a row
Walk aimlessly through the woods wearing a Walkman
Sit by a campfire
Drink, smoke, phone a friend
Wait patiently, good things come to those who wait

Message From Al – Pre-stock 2023

Howdy Baystockers,

We just got done with a productive work weekend. The entrance driveway has been improved with gravel, etc. Thanks Viking Motors, Dan Maki and Greg Belanger. Just because it’s better, don’t go fast. There are slow children at play, and I mean us!

The benches in the bowl have been worked on and the seating is good. The outhouses and shower are vacuumed and cleaned, and are ready for their intended purposes. There was a lot of weed whacking and firewood gathering. So thanks to everyone that pitched in, and we’ll see everyone soon.

Happy Baystock,

This year’s poster and swag art is pretty cool. Lana worked with new artist and came out with a great piece.
