The night was fairly clear since once when I got up to pee I saw the moon. However, in the early morning it started to rain, thunder & lightning quite hard!! I decided to just curl up & sleep. This rain went on & on for 5 hours. When the rain stopped, I got up & made my way to the kitchen along a very very muddy trail. What timing, shortly after getting to the kitchen ~ there was breakfast ~ must have been afternoon by then. In sitting around with folks a man named Horse tells me he knows folks from Athens, Rob & Katie Kola. He goes on to say that after 3 months he has to ask them to leave. Horse says though Katie did a lot of cooking, that Rob just sit there & did very little. Horse went away for a few days & asked that they be gone when he returned, upon returning ~ the wood stove was still warm. After eating I went back to my camp & got my tarp set up even better over my tent. Hung out with folks @ Hooka Camp & realized that we had tripped on mushrooms on the same night @ different places. Drifted around with folks till dinner, after which I went back to camp for my drum & flashlight.
The drumming this night was quite good in that there was a good bit of singing & chanting going along with the drumming. This keeps the drummers from the speeding up syndrome, which takes over often. The ladies are the driving force behind the singing & chanting. Chatty Panda fulfills her name by chatting ~ quite a nice looking lady who I understand is an aerobics instructor from Boone. There was this beautiful song about the water falling from the wall, on to the concrete, & breaking through, & bending the iron bars down, as it turned into a ripple, & flowed into the stream etc. ~ song by Beautiful DaY? I go back to my tent & enjoy the night.
