Here we are at our 43rd annual trek to Schwenksville, PA for the Philly Folk Fest! After many hours waiting at the Spring Mountain parking lot, Paul was able to come up the hill and park the RV. While waiting, Paul met some nice folks (surprise! Paul talking to strangers who became our best friends) in the parking lot and we ended up camping with them. Gotta Love your neighbors when camping awning to awning!
Oh, in case you were wondering, YES it did rain but not the whole weekend… AND we didn’t get stuck in the mud this time!
It was HOT, and we were thankful that we had a nice shaded area to hang out. This was our first introduction to the Spotted Lantern Fly which apparently is destroying fruit trees. They were in abundance at Folk Fest and we all sat in the shade armed with fly swatters. They were landing so gracefully but such a destructive creature.
Every year, there is beautiful artwork with a theme attached. This year’s theme was Kindness… something we could all practice more often. There was a very kind woman who felt sorry for the drunken older gent who apparently needed assistance getting back to the campsite! Similar to the Salsa Baby story…
After drinking a liter of electrolyte water and a good sleep, all was well the next day. Ready for some more partying!
Gotta Love the feeling at Folk Fest. We are all there to help each other. I wish I could cast a Folk Fest spell on the world!
