The red ponchos were our first attempts at keeping dry. They worked OK, but if you moved wrong, a river of water would soak you. We also didn't want to get up and walk around or our chairs would get wet.
By the second day, we had moved on to full rainsuits which worked much better, and we could move around as we pleased. Let me tell you, using a porta-potty is quite difficult in a full rainsuit (the poncho was worse).
Lyons is beautiful, and the venue is right by a river and red rock cliffs. I have been to this festival two times previously but it was always 95 degrees. I couldn't believe how many kids were there decked out in rubber boots and raincoats.
Luckily, we had a few hours on Saturday when it stopped raining and the sun actually came out.
On Friday we saw Shawn Mullins (good), Dar Williams (AWESOME), Josh Ritter (VERY GOOD and he's from Moscow, ID), Patty Griffin (My 2nd favorite singer of all time), and Amos Lee (we left early because we were too cold).
