Boondocking

Mr. Barnett said that the trio and their
dates were having a party in a field at
Verona, which is just north of Staunton,
when three men arrived about 11 p.m. in
a white Camaro. The three came up to
the group and talked with them for a
brief while. "They were not carrying any
evident weapons on their persons then,"
said Mr. Barnett, "and as best I could tell
they were not drunk or obscene."

"They returned about twenty minutes
later with another gay," said Mr. Barnett. "This
time they were brandishing long pipes which
appeared to be of lead, but only three of them
actually attacked us; the fourth man stood over
by the Camaro blocking the license plates."
