The poster clarifying the distance between Woodstock and Bethel Woods (Original 1969 Concert) is right. Guess age is catching up I lived in Kingston,NY and the distance to Woodstock is 11 miles. In 1969 I lived in Poughkeepsie, NY and that is when we drove to the to Concert. The Concert this year starts on August 15th and runs through the 18th. We lived in Kingston before we moved to Florida and we use to spend Sunday's going to Woodstock as it is a great place to "hang out". Its open market on Saturday and Sundays also contained a wealth of drug equipment. You could get just about anything at the booths. On Friday nights or Saturday Morning's a bus would come up from NYC with a helpings of young and old time hippies. They would sit in the small island in the middle of the village with their dogs and guitars. The village had it's own playhouse in town, the best Ice Cream in NY State and great bakeries. On Sunday afternoon/evenings they went back to NYC. Kind of miss this!
