Yes, it looked just like that! But, you could have found something similar in NH. They used to dance the sun up May Day morning at the peak of Pack Monadnock.

Thanks Mike.

Oh, wait, in the picture there is at least one bureaucrat (FDA) and one lobbyist (Truckers Association). Also one CIA employee. Er, and a lawyer.

Oh, dear.
