So who's all going?

I'll be there.

A couple cool things about Four Quarters are:
flush toilets, warm showers, and coffee in the morning.

Three oh so important things in my universe.
I look forward to meeting everyone over Memorial Day weekend.

Thanks a bunch!!

I'm confused as to what to purchase by that site.
I'm guessin the pre-register/early bird 40?

Much appreciated!

hey! there's plf ladies too :) and we'll be there

Pros for High Meadow: Central to the "big" areas (stage, the bulk of theme camps, drum/fire circle, the man, coffee dragons), generally good drainage when/if it rains due to it being sloped.

Cons for High Meadow: Get there early to get a place that has decent midday shade.


Pros for "downstairs" (north crook to the big bottom): All the shade you could want, cooler climes, close to the water, quieter and not as much car traffic. More likely to find a turtle making its way through your campsite.

Cons: You need to hoof it up a hill to get back up to the High Meadow areas. Advise setting up in the daylight so as not to inadvertently put your tent in the middle of some of the few poison ivy patches that can be found there and not in a gully where rain water collects... that's generally not a problem though.

Personally, I'm probably going to break with tradition and locate myself up in the High Meadow this time because I'll have about 200lbs of optics and associated gear that I don't want to lug up and down the hill.

If you continue down the road, past the North Crook where Sound Town is and towards the Hemlock Hole where Sin City is and in the general area approaching the members-only Big Bottom, the sound drop-off from Sound Town should be noticeable. That's generally the quietest place. It's probably a 5-8 minute casual walk from that area to Sound Town, and you can find paths that take you back up the hill towards the Stone Circle and High Meadow. But the area along the road in between Sound Town and the Big Bottom is also nice. Camp in the area between the road and the stream if you want to be set back from the road and the foot traffic, or on the opposite side where, due to topography, you will be right on the road.

Another suggestion is along the road on its west side, across from the drum circle and prior to the kitchen. This area is grass-covered and slopes away from the road... then the treeline starts and the slope increases as the hill descends to the "downstairs" area. This area will probably see a ton of foot traffic as people make their way between upstairs and down, but might be quiet enough, yet central. I don't know if any theme camps are planning on setting up there, though. That area is also roughly equidistant from the two new toilet/bath structures.

Here's a map if you haven't found it already:

If your coming in early the high meadow offers some really nice shady spots also. But they probably will get taken with early arrivals. You would have plenty of neighbors and be well away of the thumping bass. If you plan on attending on set up weekend to help out, you could probably pick a spot and just leave your tent in place. Please post your location, I do want to meet you.

And we're bringing the brand new Bumpmobile...
