It was a whirlwind of a weekend for sure. Sam, Sara and I drove up on Friday evening. What a fun drive. We listened to lots of good music, talked about languages (and how they are the key to a successful world) and many other things. We arrived at the gorge campground around 10:00 and met up with Hilde and her friends from Montana. After maneuvering our way through the campground we finally found a spot and setup camp. It was so great that we were all together again! Plus Sam's brothers were there! It was a great dynamic.
That night we hung out with a few people, met some crazy Montanans (thanks to Hilde), and finally crashed out relatively early to regain some energy for the next day. We woke up early the next day and hung around for a bit with some very cool Canadians that were camped next to us. It was so great to spend time with people that you just met, but with whom you know you have something really special in common: a love for music.
The whole day of music was amazing. Fleet Foxes, Beirut, Modest Mouse, The Shaky Hands, Joshua Morrison, Destroyer! and many more. I've decided that Beirut and Destroyer were my two favorites, but everyone else was great too.
After a very sad good-bye at 6am the next morning, my friend Stefan and I headed out to Sisters, OR where I caught a bus back to Salem. It was the first time I had driven from Eastern Oregon to Salem, and it was incredible. Oregon has so much more to offer...
I leave for France tomorrow. I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on my adventures there. I miss you all.
