Planning for August

So plans continue for the August trip.  I've decided I'm going to change how I've done this trip in the past.  This is year 4 of this 2 week excursion living out of a tent and saying good bye to the craziness of the San Francisco Bay Area.  I like to say I am becoming a feral human for 2 weeks, living in the woods and shunning big cities.


This years change will be using a new website I discovered last year called Hip Camp.  The website, like Air BnB, is home and land owners who provide spaces to rent to camp on.  Amenities vary from site to site.  Some are super primitive where you have nothing but a spot to camp, others come full service with Wi-Fi, showers and laundry on site.  Not all sites are for one person or group.  Some have several spots to rent.


I've scoped out several spots for each location and as of now the cost of camping will run me about $200 total for each night I am camping before and after the festival I am attending.  A grand total of 10 nights at about $20/night, some sites are less than $20.  This is far better than the $300+ I used to spend on state camping sties.  This will be a fun exploration.  I will be camping close to the same locations I have in the past.  Change of scenery is always fun!


Once these are secure I will start my meal plan and share it with you!  For those curious, here is a general rout of the trip.  Total of 1,323 Miles with general markers of where I am going to be.
