Forum MVP VincentPuleo Posted June 30, 2011 Forum MVP Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 I am contemplating driving over to the Ledges after work on Friday as I've found out there is a less expensive two day pass for those who cannot make it by Friday. I've never been to a Gratefulfest and was planning on making next years my first but... the moment feels right. However, I was wondering if I could truly not worry about the same things one would have to at a big festival. I am familiar with the big ones, and I am completely over them. Am I being too idealistic in thinking I will not find myself surrounded by nitrous, garbage, or camping in dirt parking lots at Gratefulfest? I do know the Ledges is microscopic compared to an All Good or Bonnarroo--and that is exactly what I'm looking for. Lastly, if I am arriving early Saturday is there any chance of receiving a decent camping spot? Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be none of the issues brought on by the sheer size of All Good or, God knows, Bonnaroo. No nitrous mafia, little garbage (people are really careful about cleaning up after themselves), and beautiful woods rather than acres of dirt. That leads to... 2. Upon arriving Saturday you probably will be directed to whatever is left over in the way of available spots. But you will still be mighty glad you went!!

Forum MVP VincentPuleo Posted July 2, 2011 Author Forum MVP Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Chuck, that is music to my ears... and bert, you're right... admittedly, I wanted to reassure myself. I will be leaving the east coast at 6am tomorrow to make for New Riders of the Purple Sage. Feels like Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have liked to have met you. I hope you had a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
