Missed Opportunity? Gold Bond powder samples...

It was super hot and muggy, with very light mud on the main walking roads.

What would you do for showering for 3 or 4 days? The options were...

Baby wipe bath: Name says it all. Go through anywhere from one to dozens of baby wipes trying to wash the party off of you. This is also a refresher between more intense baths.

Water troughs: Throughout the 700 acre site, there were cargo containers with long troughs and dozens of faucets. People did everything from brush their teeth, to wring washcloths that they had just scrubbed their feet or junk with.

Bird Bath: You stand in or next to a small bucket of soapy water; apply water to body, dry in the sun or with a towel.

Gravity shower: Some people brought 3-5 gallon bladders, hung in the sun, and enjoyed the free shower from their tent or camper.

Garnier Fructis was selling showers for $7. They had small stalls, hot and cold water, and free shampoo samples. I had one on Friday morning and I gotta say, it was the best $7 I spent that day.
If you’re lucky enough to have access to an RV shower, do it up. They range from tiny, porto potty sized numbers to bathrooms bigger than most in apartments in NY. I poached a shower from the RV on Sunday morning that was pretty incredible as well.
