Four Quarters Farm is 100 miles from the DC/Baltimore beltways. If you've been out to Western Maryland and driven through the Sidling Hill road cut (a geological delight of exposed folded rock) the hill is named after nearby Sidling Creek, which wraps around 4QF on three sides.

Four Quarters Farm has:
* hot showers in multiple locations
* nice bathrooms (rather than porta-johns)
* piped water throughout camp
* electricity so sound camps won't need to bring generators
* a stream with swimming holes surrounding the venue on 3 sides
* few flying bugs
* TREES to camp among as well as sunny spots
* a road loop for art cars
* some areas are flat, some are hilly (just like Transformus)
* there's already a designated area for "adult" camps (Sin City) that has been used for other events and has the best swimming hole just adjacent
* sound problems SOLVED: If you've heard of Gaian Mind -- www.gaian-mind.com -- a popular psytrance festival, this is the place where it happens (and there's another swimming hole by Sound Town)

Finally, word is that Wicker Man Burning will have one of the most impressive effigies outside of Burning Man, planned at 40' tall and with various unique and atypical features.

As of this writing the web site is still under construction, but you can peek at it at www.wickermanburning.org . Wicker Man Burning 2008 tickets will apparently not go on sale 'til after Spring PDFs tickets are selling or sold (or something) to minimize competition.
