    Never been to the Gorge, is it a camp site? There don't seem to be too many hotels nearby.

    The Gorge is on the desert side of Washington state (when driving from Seattle, once you get past the mountains, it turns to desert). It's really dry and hot in the summer. The Gorge is in the middle of nowhere. It's on the side of canyon along the columbia river in the middle of the desert. There is "camping" but it's in a wide open field. I did it once for a Lollapalooza in the 90s, but it's frigging hot, there's no shade, and it's completely unforgiving.

    There's some small towns to the East and West of the Gorge (about 45 mins of driving after the show). If your coming from the East, Moses Lake is a decent town to stay in. If you're coming from the West then it's Ellensburg. Those are the closest towns of reasonable size. We stayed in Cle Elum which is 20ish minutes past Ellensburg West of the Gorge. It's not bad, and it was cheaper. Not so good if the hotel is for seeing back to back shows, but if you're heading back to the coast, it's a shorter drive the next morning :)

    So yah.. the key to Gorge is booking a hotel with air conditioning so you can cool down and get sleep.

    btw. Can I change my vote for 2017. Now that I'm trekking to Chicago... I'd rather have NorthWest shows next year :)

    Canada Day/Independence Day Long weekend would be a perfect weekend for the boys to return to the Gorge. Not quite the middle of the oppressive summer.

    Its a Tuesday, and a fine day to announce Pearl Jam's return to the Gorge.

    Starting to feel bleak....was hoping for at least one Gorge show, but the schedule for the last couple seasons at the Gorge has been pretty damn weak. Foos last year, and Phish is the only announcement for the whole year outside the normal festivals.
