MANCHESTER, Tenn. -- Breakfast at a campsite isn’t the same snap, crackle and pop in the morning, but that does not stop some from trying.  

“Milk does not stay very well, so I don’t think that I’ll have cereal out here,” Marcus Voigts, 21 said. “I didn’t bring any [milk].”

Voigts drove from Central Illinois to camp at the four day Bonnaroo 2006 Music and Arts Festival, and while he could not have his normal milk and cereal breakfast, he opted to buy some pancakes from a nearby vendor.  

Other campers tried to keep their milk cool.

Nina Davis ate cereal with cold milk, an average breakfast for the two-year old. Using a method of supplementing dry ice with ice bags, Donna Davis kept the organic rice milk cold for her daughter.

For some, breakfast was a new addition to their morning.

“It’s an unusual thing (to be eating breakfast) this morning,” Candi Swingle, 22, said. “But I still never got what I wanted.”

Swingle said she could not find her steak and egg breakfast so she settled on sausage and egg followed by two scoops of ice cream.

Ryan Church, 23, sat in a folding chair peeling back a ruby red grapefruit. It’s a pretty average breakfast, but Church said he normally does not eat anything in the morning.

A five-time Bonnaroo camper, Libby Greene, 25 usually takes a light breakfast.

“I normally have (a juice blend),” she said. However, in addition to her juice she ate an apple and a granola bar.

Vendors know the importance of breakfast too. At one of the Kalin’s Breakfast tents, Kevin Springer was serving up egg and cheese sandwiches. Springer said he usually serves the morning fare until campers stop ordering it around 2 p.m.

And as for Springer, what did he eat?

“Beer, and some coffee,” he said.
