Program: Oregon Experience
Episode: Vortex I
In the summer of 1970, some tens of thousands of people converged in
rural Clackamas County for an event called Vortex I. This festival
celebrated freedom - freedom from violence, from drug laws and from
clothes. It also served as an elaborate ploy to lure young people away
from Portland. Vortex I is the only state-sponsored rock festival in
U.S. history.

And for several hot summer days, Vortex 1 created a sort of clothing optional alternate reality, underwritten by the Republican Governor. 10s of thousands converged. Traditional law enforcement had been suspended

Cool video, Danee. I don't know how you find these things, but I am glad you do.

Can anyone else not see it?
Perhaps it's a Canada thing?

It took a minute to load but I was able to view the video. It is amazing that this was able to happen and supported rather than shut down.

It's still not working for me, but I think this is the same video?

Does no one else get the irony in "freedom" having to be celebrated by being herded off into a remote location and segregated from society in general? May we all be saved from such freedom.
