[Artemisia] Uprising Traffic Jam on Sunday

[John D Gibson]

The plan is to widen the roads next year a bit, however The biggest problem
was that in the mad rush to pack some vehicles either failed to pull tight
against one side of the road leaving room for traffic to pass or (gasp)
tried going the wrong way on one way roads.  I know it is a new site, but in
a single 10 minute walk about the north road I was able to get traffic
flowing again by simply directing traffic.  This makes me wonder if it would
be in our collective better interest to place more one-way signs and assign
someone to direct traffic on Sunday?
  I do however seriously agree with the teardown and stage before getting
your vehicle, just as I am a proponent of dump, park, then setup on arrival.

Please I enjoy the input, and everything said, good and bad is being noted,
if not replied to.  Beleve it or not the vast majority of what people have
requested or stated has found its way into my post event report which has
suggetions for next year included.  So Any other comments or complaints?
(Except the wind, I really need to find out who requested the breeze so we
can have them sent burnt for witchcraft ;-)

complaints about the traffic jam on Sunday at Uprising.  One possible
solution I had heard was to try to make the roads wider (which would cut
their camp, get all their stuff packed up and ready to load BEFORE they went
to go get their vehicles, this would significantly cut down on the time that
vehicles were sitting in someone else's way.
