A FEW OF DAD'S COMMENTS
I would like to thank all of you Clean Vibers for the wonderful time I had
working with you. I found the staff and core volunteers of Clean Vibes to
be very hard working and dedicated to achiving the goals of Clean Vibes.
" TO PROVIDE UNPARALLELED ON-SITE WASTE AND RECYCLING
C0LLECTION SERVICES AS WE STRIVE TO EDUCATE, INSPIRE
AND GAIN THE RESPECT OF OUR CLIENTS,VENDORS, MEMBERS
OF THE MUSICAL COMMUNITY, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. "
Clean Vibers busted hump and made it happen at Bonnaroo 2004
The odds to do it were stacked against them. They were expected to
service a 90,000 person music festival and ended up cleaning up after
a crowd of 130,000 more or less. It stretched the resourses of Clean
Vibers to their limit but only for their dedication was the job done.

Gallery One - 1-66 - Getting Ready
Gallery Two - 67-110 -The Crowd Arrives
Gallery Three - 111-127 - The Recycling and Clean up Begin
Coments--Pictures 112-115 What makes some people think CleanVibers are their
personal Janitors? Pictures 118-120 The trash picker makes a good hay rake
when the grounds are not mowed for it. Notice the unused barrels in the
background of picture 114. Picture 116 - it didn't take Clean Vibers long to
innundate the idea of seperating the recyclables.
Gallery Four -128-162- The Recycling, Trash and Rain Cometh
Picture 157, 158 Everyone tired to drive across that sea of mud. Some were never found.
Gallery Five -163-197- The Mud Cometh
Gallery Six -198-248- The Day After
Everyone and everything leaves but the trash, recyclables, Clean Vibers,outhouses rain andMUD
Pictures 208-209 the music lasted a little longer with some people. Picture 234 some
needed a little help to get going. Picture 219 215,and 222 Vendor,Pretzels Lemonade
getting ready to leave their trash at one of their many sites. Picture 218 their they
go. Pictures 239,242 and 246 look what they left for Clean Vibes. Maybe they think the
land owner is a pig. Picture 211 if I left such a mess as The natural Fruit & Juce Bar
I'd leave too, but I'd take my advertisments. Picture 220,244,245 and 245 Jack Daniels
and Budweiser Vendors tried to out-do each in leaving an environmental disaster of
trash. Pictures 224, 247 and 248 Vendor Sweetleaf put the plastic bottle back in the
cardboard container just to make it harder for us to recycle the bottle and the cardboard.
They added a little trash to top off their piles. Picture 232 The General Stores took the
general view if the place looks like a dump why not help make it one. Picture 221 What
vendor wants to be known by the trash he leaves, hide your signs until night then leave.
Gallery Seven -249-377- Into the fields
Pictures 251,252 and 253 Sometimes a good shower,a little tv,and a rest in a friends
motel room before an evening out , makes the trash go away for a while. Picture 291 ,
292 Yes we found an empty roll-off. Picture 296 that will teach you not to go off the
roads. Picture 316 what is worse than maggots and poop in the bag ? Picture 338,339
the best ground score of the day. Picture 364 Yes Robert it's morning. Picture 374
Yes,Now there is a real ground score.
Gallery Eight -377-510- The real trash Cometh
Picture 378 The real trash kings were the VIP pigs - they must have been to live in the
heaps of trash we found left behind them. Pictures 378, 379, and 381 The litter picker
didn't do well dumping into the Packer. Pictures 387 and 388 the litter picker was great
infront of the outhouses and we used it infront of all 1250 of them. Picture 389 even
cleaning 4 times a day the outhouse boys had a hard time keeping up. Picture 411 some
of the 500 or so pairs of shoes collected. Picture 413 to 417 Dad's father's day card
from all. Many thanks all. Picture 418 and 420 Harry the judge and local resourse man
Pictures 461,462,464,464,465,and 466 Party trash left at the Administration trailors
it could be the reason things everywhere were left trashed. The tanks were found empty.
Pictures 470 471 and 472 Arts and Crafts didn't care either about the environment they
left behind either.Picture 507 The last bag of recyclables was put in a roll-off on Friday
at 9:00 Pm in the rain finishing our job.
