Looking for advice on this years travel route!

Post by chrasling » Tue Jan 05, 2010 4:57 pm

[b]Greetings![/b]

I hail from Victoria British Columbia, and am planning on a two month trip up and down the west coast before ending up at Burning Man. I'm just wondering if anyone knows of some sweet hot spots or other music festivals me and my girlfriend can check out along the way?!

Thanks peeps!

Right on, I'll be sure to invest in an amphibious vehicle with bullet proof sides! Might you be able to get me a deal?

You could always stop by the California State Fair in Sacramento. You can get a corn dog there you know.

yeah, Great music fest the week before the Burn,
My friends and I have been going to this for years and it is really good! http://www.summermeltdown.com/

If you are in the SW Oregon area Look into The tinny comunity of O'brien/Takilma on the redwood highway, loads of camping, cool people. If you are there around Solstice Look into the
Out 'n' About Treesort http://www.treehouses.com They have a really cool community party.

Feel Fee to e-mail me, I am the Captian of BetsyDuck, a 28 foot chevy Skoolie, and will be out on the west coast highways as well.
