TimmyB Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I've gone every year and from Hamilton it is around 12 plus hours away. So add a half hour to that and it'll probably be a little over 13 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaidy Mae Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 It took J and I about 18 hours last time. That was with only one driver though. So if you're taking turns it should be a few hours shorter. Don't really limit your timeline though...you never know what those jokers at the border may have planned. It took us 36 hours to get back though. Booooo!!! No one in their right mind wants to drive that far after partying for a few days and battling the heat/rain/traffic, etc. Give yourself lots of time. Oh, and we also stopped by the Jack Daniel's distillery in Lynchburg. :: That probably ate up a few daylight hours. Make sure you bring LOTS of water and toilet paper. That place gets just plain sick. If it rains you'll be wading in water and raw sewage. Bring shoes you can get wet and lots of water to get clean. A shade tent is another must.

TimmyB Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I only posted 13 hours as being the driving time. When I came got in the line of cars at bonnaroo 2002 it took us an extra 12 hours and then at bonnaroo 2003 it took us an extra 15 hours! But finally at bonnaroo 2004 it only took us a couple of hours to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaidy Mae Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 Yeah, we got there the night before too. Along with about a thousand other people. If you can't sleep in your wheels, you had better book a hotel NOW. Seriously, there won't be anything left. Not a bad lot party at the local Wal-Mart though. Ha! We got in line right away and it only took an hour or so to get in. That part was pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberHippie Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 The year I went I hit the Gardiner at about 9pm and we rolled into our camp site at about 5pm. So yeah the distance from point A to point B is about a 13 hour drive, but it will take you longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love it if you came along! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberHippie Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 I dunno Tim, I kinda think I'm done with the BIG festivals. I think I'd enjoy something a little smaller, much more. Langerado in March would be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
