OK folks, just a littl word of advise here.......  based on last years
rather disastrous (for some) visit to Loring AFB.

>>Phish will play 23 concerts at various outdoor venues across the United
>States
>>this summer, culminating in a two-day festival, LEMONWHEEL, to be held at
>the
>>former Loring Air Force Base in Limestone, Maine on Saturday and Sunday,


I live about 1.5 hrs away, on Cdn. side of border.  A lot of PhishHeads (is
this correct? ;> ) missed the turning off I-95 to Loring, which is a VERY
SHORT distance from the US/Canada border.  If you see 30mph signs on I-95,
buildings with flags and signs for duty-free shopping STOP, back up/turnaround.

  Our CDN customs got swamped by over 100 vehicles, laden with the usual
illicits, going into Canada to do a U-turn.  Do NOT do this.  40+ charges
were laid, cost a lot on money etc. for nothing serious, personal use levels
only.  Just the way to ruin a great weekend.  bye, Tim

Actually just one BIG surprise if you miss that turn-off! :)  Perhaps
someone with the Phish Tour could plaster a big sign up near the correct exit?
