    oh, yeah!
    I remember that campground! We stayed there before we knew you could just camp in the lot. I was introduced to those spinning holographic disks at those shows. I think that this was my first set of Alpine shows. I remember seeing some crazy visions in the trees.

How many hotels have we stayed in that had that?????? Not that any of took part in the skeet shooting but was intense hotel/mansion.Pricey but remember we made money everyday back then and some days were better then others.

Who says there's nothing to do in the Midwest? The adjoining golf course is a fine distraction from all the distractions!

Saw shows there in '84 and '87 and stayed at the campground called Muckwanago or something like that. Out of control everytime.

It was strange coming back two years after my first visit to the Midwest and to Alpine. Everything looked completely different for some reason. Dougles

I'll never forget parking at the golf course and walking down then up the hill to get to the venue and main parking lot. Lots of heads selling many various "things" as we walked amongst the trees! Missed the opener but got in for Jack Straw. The tape I got later was garbled - wish I could find a better one! Always will be Missing the Dead at Alpine! Jim

It seems half of my 131 shows were at Alpine. It was my home venue. Camping in the main lot was unreal. Especially in '87 and '88 when there were 3 or 4 shows in 5 days. You'dpark and.....well, there you were. The water trucks would come in every morning. You got tight with your neighbors. You'd vote somebody to have to go to town every other day. Speaking of town, I think the locals started figuring it out in the mid to late 80's. The general stores and little breakfast places realized that they should stock up so that they would not run out of eggs on day two!

My first year in Illinois Highwood to be exact. Took a tour bus that a local guy used from his boss. Nice show. My first Alpine Valley experience.
