I've never been to a concert at
the Gorge before, but I'd heard about the multi-day camping/concert experience, and have always wanted to go. This year, a bunch of us decided to go to Saturday's
Sasquatch festival, stay overnight, and come back Sunday. What an experience it was.
The day started early and rainy in Seattle. After driving for nearly an hour, I realized that I didn't have my ticket. Luckily, the nice people I was with turned around (instead of kicking me out of the car), and John met us at exit 8 on I-90 where we did a quick exchange. Back on the road.
Once we got to the Gorge, and settled into our campsite (which Oya and crew had to defend until we arrived), we did some barbequing, and got ready for a nice afternoon of music.

Once at the concert, we found a nice spot, and settled down.


But soon the black clouds that were once off in the distance started rolling in,

and it started a light rain. Luckily some of us had cover.

But nothing helped when the rain turned into hail. Some struggled to put on pants,

while others screamed at the weather gods.

But the pellets kept coming down, and it hurt when it hit you.

This was the aftermath.

A lot of people left, but some of the hardcore stuck around, and waited for the Hip

The morning after, as we got ready to leave, we noticed that a lot of people were getting stuck

because of the mud.

But we made it out without a scratch, and thanks to that dude in the shorts who gave us a good push, we owe you a beer.
