There were flying tents this year too? I have shots from last years flying tents. I got there late Thursday this year so if it happened earlier in the day I missed it.
Or had already started drinking.

Did you see the flying tents? That was really remarkable. Apparently the same wind that got the Shady sent about 5 tents soaring about 200 ft in the air. Video on YouTube. Pete '79 Westy "Aardvark" '87 Westy "Joe's Van" WWW. Busesbythebeach.com
The last 10 seconds is actual footage of a Shady Boy awning in 30 mph winds about 1 minute from self destructing. Luckily it just completely dissembled itself and nothing actually broke. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueE8Pq5Txw0 Bryan
