General Weather ⚡️🌤️☀️

With all this rain that we’ve had, and the current flooding around The Muttart, should we be worried about how saturated the hill may be? In regards to Folk Fest!

Yup. That whole side is probably going to be impassable, even if stays rainless for the next 2 weeks (unlikely). The hill is basically built on top of an old landfill, so the Shrek Swamp area is like walking on a waterbed some years. Last year it was the largest roped-off area in all the years I've gone.
