Wow, thank you all!!!
Very cool. Just out of curiousity, y’all weren’t having to clean up after any mess / destruction that C3 causes with ACL Festival, were you?
no, we were doing repairs and maintenance in other areas – trails, nature center, botany center, preserve
and by the way, C3 has been a huge add to Zilker’s good preservation. They leave the place better than they find it everytime and have contributed immeasurably to the park foundation
I have to agree with Eugene. Living right next to the park, I had been very concerned about what they would “get away with” after making the promise they made to leave better than the way they found it, but they have done just that. The park is enjoyable now year round thanks to their efforts (at least from what I can see).
Good to know!
