Commemorating Jerry's Golden Gate Park bust
Forums:
There's bound to be some people (probably on Reddit) that want to mark Jerry's 40th anniversary bust with some crack smoking of their own before the shows. Possible lot gathering even. It's conveniently close to the Polo Fields. Here's the address:
Middle Drive West (north of Metson Lake)
Has anyone made the pilgrimage there before?

You can't drive along that
You can't drive along that section of Middle Drive any longer, but it's open for pedestrians and bikes and is easily accessible from the Polo Field.
During summer heat waves when it was too hot to walk my dog in the South Bay I used to take him up to GGP and that stretch was a favorite part of our walks. As with most areas of that park, it's beautiful along that road and is always worth an effort to walk around there.
I miss those walks.

I used to drive back to Lake
I used to drive back to Lake St from a friends house in the Sunset late at night (stoned) in my 61 VW. I'd jump on the Middle Drive off of Sunset Blvd and punch it- it was like driving through the Rocky Mountains I imagined. Cool little sprint - no cops around. Metson Lake is a mellow spot.

Similar to a credit card, probably used to chop and align the various powders.

Sure, that works, but it's lot more utilitarian than I was thinking. Garcia spent his life singing about cards, and the seven of hearts just seems so random.

Seven is a lucky number.
Seven is a lucky number. Hearts symbolize love.
Maybe he was hoping to be lucky in love? Wasn't that about the time Debra Koons and Jerry reconnected?
In a way, he did eventually find his way back to Barbara Meier, but he folded and tossed the seven of hearts into the lion's den.

Given the location of the bust, I always assumed he was coming back from south of SF somewhere and decided a little pit stop might be in order, before going back over the bridge.
McNally said Jerry was on his way to rehab but that seemed like friendly cover. People normally don't drive to their own rehab, they get taken there.
