Friday September 6th: Wheatland Music Festival

Well Hello all you seekers. This is Mark reporting from Remus the heart of Central Michigan (I made that up). I

went to  the Wheatland Library to get access to the Internet. Downloading YouTube videos of this trip have to be done a different way since the speed of the connections in this library

is WAY slow. I will  have to save it to a key drive and then stick it to a USB drive in the computer at the Library. I am thinking the desktop computers HAVE to be faster then the WIFI.

It was a good thing I brought my charger because my phone just hung in there. We rode  back in the dark and got home around 11pm. We watched Alfred Hitchcock like we've been doing each night. I'm returning to the festival tomorrow at 1:30. It was a fun adventure. Here is a video review of my first experiences at the 2013 Wheatland Music Festival. I am what they call a "Wheatee" a first timer to this festival which is 40 year old this year.
