Chemical toilets must have been a new invention back in '69
when they were featured in the movie "Woodstock".
Powder Ridge even bragged about having them in their poster.
This tennis court just north of the Main Stage was turned into a Port-O-San jungle.
I managed to get one of the Port-0-San stickers from inside.

Sunday, August 2, 1970. My last day at Powder Ridge.
This was the view from our tent on north slope.
We picked this place not only for the view of the stage
but it would be the last place the State cops would get to
if they tried to clear everyone from Powder Ridge.
The dark spot in the sky is a State Police helicopter.

Such signs were put up on all highways leading to Powder Ridge.
This pic shot of such a sign on the Middletown commons on RT-66.
When I took the pic all I saw was "P. RIDGE FESTIVAL".
It was not until I developed the film did I see the rest.
