NLQP...where the sun never sets


Hello campers, friends, and family

Thank you again for the amazing 2008 season! Who could forget the unbelievable performances of 2008, including The Mickey Hart Band, Buckethead, and P-Funk? Airto, DSO, Ekoostik Hookah, Moe, Cornmeal, and Wookiefoot were also phenomenal. Too many great bands, and memories with friends to list. 2008 Photos are posted online at nlqp.com
