Your point, Lou? Which article?

From the roadside on Highway 1, the Esalen institute doesn't look very big - and transporting 6,000 people on Highway 1 is a traffic jam of apocalyptic dimensions.

The Wikipedia article says:

About 10-15,000 people camped out for three miles up and down Highway One for the two-day festival. The event audience was so well-mannered that those without the $4.00 admission price listened from the highway, even though there was no gate.

Still, that size crowd in the Big Sur area, is a disaster waiting to happen.
