Sasquatch

This weekend has been an amazing journey and i feel like i know Washington way more now. On Friday after class i met up with some friends Molly, Emma, and Maggie and we began the drive to Seattle. We planned on stopping at Folk Life in Seattle and staying there the night, however the car broke down and we were stranded on the highway. Luckily there was a bus stop close by so once Molly's car was towed we rode the bus to downtown and went to Emma's brothers house. We spent the night there relaxing and preparing for the show. The next day we drove to the gorge to see the 3 day festival Sasquatch with Kendrick(Emma bro) and had a long, yet stunning ride though the snowy mountains and into the dry region of Washington. The Gorge Amphitheater is a giant place and was actually rate #1 venue. Its sits in the middle of a canyon right over the Columbia river. We arrived late on Saturday and met up with a few more cars filled with friends and then all set up camp together. That night we were able to get into the show for free and had lots of fun in the dance hall which had djs and light shows. On Sunday after waking up in the burning heat we decided to drive to vantage point and go swimming in the Columbia river. This water is basically glacial melt and was freezing, but still very refreshing. We later headed back to camp and relaxing in the sun. That night we also got into the show for free and saw Janes Addiction and heard lots of djs. I decided to go back on Monday with a few people and was able to catch a ride to Seattle and than i had to take many buses from there to Olympia. It was a little overwhelming due to the random memorial day bus schedule, however it all worked out and i made it back in around 7 hours. Today i had class and we continued planning out the science carnival. I have found some friends to live with next year and we will be staying on campus. Back to the cleaning, unpacking, and recovering.
