25 Thursday
Free
concert at Stuart Hall. Went with Rob and Mich[outdoors. I remember it was loud and not wonderful]. Went to Pizza Romana after.
Heather parent's townhouse (near Ralph's)
burned down about now. She moved to Baie d'Urfé, then
across the train tracks in Beaconsfield in 1975.

26 Friday Went to Long Sault with Heather and
Pattie. (Long Sault was a provincial park about 100 miles
west of Montreal along the St Lawrence River. A small corner
was put aside for freaks away from the family areas, which
was ok with us. The police seemed to leave us along as long
as you didn't walk with open beer on the road, or run nude
into another's tent...).
Our campsite was a good one, up a small hill. We had two tents,
Dugald's large one and a small one.
We began partying with Southern Comfort, with a water chaser
(from an Aunt Jumima bottle).
People walked around from campsite to campsite to see what
was happening. Some were better than others. It was never
quiet there.
The events and order are a bit foggy, but... Heather and Pattie
had a drinking contest with some guys at the next campsite.
Heather won.
Pattie disappeared, but was found crashed in another tent.
Rob and Mich came up for the Saturday afternoon (July 27).
Wade Gaylord's friend had done too much acid, and ran nude
into a woman's tent. The police took him away.
That night drank tequila, got smashed again. I went skinny
dipping with some guys in the river (which bugged Heather
and Pattie; "Why were you so interested in those guys?").
I'm pretty sure one campsite was occupied by some gay guys.
Many people from the West Island there.
I tried to read 'Lord of the Rings' this weekend, but didn't
like it. (that would come later)
(July 28) Returned. Pattie and Heather
brought two guys (with great Moroccan). One we dropped in
Ste Anne's (by the water tower). The other was blond. Heather
made it clear to me that he didn't want to be left alone with
him, so I went along with them as he took us to the St Lawrence
Yacht Club for awhile.
