jesse jarnow60 years ago today (maybe), the muir beach acid test, during which the grateful dead & owsley stanley encounter one another for the very first time & owsley promptly freaks out & drives his car into a ditch. muir beach photo from later in the '60s. (sometimes the palo alto acid test is placed on 12/11 & muir beach on 12/18, but rosie mcgee says she met phil lesh for the 1st time on 12/11 & attended palo alto the following week, which seems to settle the matter.)

dennis mcnally’s puts the muir beach acid test together in “long strange trip” [3/4]
but my favorite firsthand account of muir beach comes in william craddock’s extraordinary 1968 novel, “be not content,” which can be read in its entirety on @internetarchive https://archive.org/details/benotcontentasub00crad
