"I have never witnessed such an epic concert. The Harper-Matthews duo cover of Watchtower was completely mind blowing."
How I did it: Josh and I took a Greyhound bus from Bellingham to the city of Moses Lake, which is about a half-hour drive from the Gorge. The bus cost around $80 per person. When we arrived in Moses Lake, we attempted to hitchhike to the Gorge campground. Sadly, no one picked us up, though we received many cat calls and piece signs. As we learned, there was no room in any of the cars going to the campground, as everybody was carrying gear. Three hours later, we ended up taking a local taxi cab service who we reached via the local yellow pages. The ride to the Gorge cost $80 via the taxi.
We got an awesome spot because we were the first ones there, and set up camp. Camping cost $60 for the pair of us, but it was worth it. We had to get used to the loud partying every night, which ends at about 4am. You get used to it, though, believe me!
Dave was FANTASTIC. DMB is so tight, so perfect, and so freaking amazing! I was stunned each night, and was extremely stoked on life.
I highly recommend this concert to anyone who loves epic jam bands, beautiful views, and fantastic music. You should probably attend each concert, and camp in the campground.
Lessons & tips: If you are social and enjoy parties and music, stay in the Gorge campground! It costs about $90 for a camping spot for a car, and only $60 for walk-in campers (for the whole weekend!).
There are a lot of local campgrounds that are quieter only minutes away! Look into it via the internet, and I'm sure you will find a more chill spot!
Bring layers! In August, the days were so hot, 85 degrees, until the sun set, when it crashed to 45 or 50 degrees. It's nice to have layers and a warm tent to go home to!
Bring your own water, food, beer, and cigarettes. Everything is extremely expensive inside the campground and the venue - $9 for a tiny meal, $22 for an 18 pack of beer, $3 for a bottle of water, $12 for a pack of cigarettes.
HAVE FUN! DANCE! GO CRAZY!!!!!
