Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival starts Today!

[L Roebuck]

Hey Cavers, I live in the area and thought I would let you know the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival is being held in Manchester, Tennessee and kicks off tonight, June 14, at 7:15 p.m.and wraps up Sunday night, June 17.

If you are headed caving - you may want to to avoid the high traffic areas of the the Bonnaroo site this weekend which is mainly Highway 55 and I-24. Additionally Bonnaroonies will mainly be using the following Tennessee interstate's both 'to' and 'from' the event: I -75, I -59, I-40, I-65.

If you have to use these routes when you are going caving - tune in to Radio Bonnaroo - Fantasy 101.5 FM for traffic announcements, news, etc...

Reports are that I-24 is passable through the area but a bit slow due to all the vehicles on the shoulder in line for the Bonnaroo Festival. I think the police are doing a good job of keeping the interstate running well so far. Just don't plan on getting off any nearby exits!
