for the summer '96 tour, me and two friends from the cape took a greyhound bus out to park city, ut. we met some pretty interesting people along the way, but the ride couldn’t have been more uncomfortable. this was my first time west of the mississippi.
this pic was taken just outside park city. from l to r: jeffro, corey and me

this is jeffro and corey with two people we met on the bus.


the bus dropped us off at wolf mountain, still a couple days before phish was to play. we met up with a kid who was riding solo, eric. he had just hopped off further tour for the park city show, i can’t remember if he went on to red rocks? anyway, he took us out to the wasatch valley for some great hiking/camping.
this is the only time i’ve seen wild cattle.





corey and i hiked up this huge rocky cliff, probably not the best idea. :-/



the first day camping we hiked up the valley to catch the sunset. from l to r: eric, corey and jeffro

before the park city show, corey and i hitched a ride from this kid named mark from illinois. he offered to take us all the way to the ball! jeffro ended up hitching a ride with some kids from vermont. these pics were taken at a sand and gravel pit down the road from wolf mountain, the morning of 8/3. it seemed like every kid on tour stayed there that night! ;D


we stayed at a campground down the road from red rocks. these were taken the morning of 8/4.
mark and bell

i ended up running into some friends (eric & neil) i had stayed with in nyc for the nye run. they were staying in this really cool bus their friend had made. this was also the first time i met jamie (aka jerryfreak), his future wife mindy and her brother rick.

i sat solo for 8/5 since all my friends were shut out.


a tortilla and marshmallow fight broke out pre-show.

we camped on this curb just down the road from red rocks all 4 nights. these pics were taken before the show on 8/7. from l to r: mark, me, corey and dave
