Some of the photos here are nice, but overall NAP seems like a shadow of its former self. I attended in 2003-2005, then again in 2009-2010. It seems like 2010 was the beginning of the real slide. You could feel it at the time. I knew that would be my last time there. I still check out the photos every year, but they only confirm the decline. I'm sure it could still be fun though. I met nice folks while camping for the weekend there, and I'm sure there are still some around. (Funny how the thing I remember most is those people I met, not all the naked girls, although originally I clearly came for the girls, and I still have a bunch of non-digital photos of them in a box stashed in the back of a closet, waiting to be discovered after I die...) The festival is mainly a fundraiser for Ponderosa. It must be generating less cash than in the past. I wonder how the club is doing.
