Bummer, but YES that will be a lot less driving. I need to make the show for family reasons, but am NOT looking forward to the drive from Gorge to Reno. I think I will need to break it in to two days and roll in to Reno on Tuesday some time.

    You right breaking up the drive is key. I did the Gorge to Stateline drive in 2013 and we camped at Crater Lake on the way, pictures don't do it justice.

    Crater Lake is UHmazing! I'm probably going to go a bit more direct as my family lives in Reno so once I get there lodging is free.

    Such a long haul, solid plan to break it up a bit. Denver to Gorge is like 18 hours, but I think we'll stop to check out Arches National Park, and then stop to visit with some DMB friends in SLC that I don't think are making it to any shows this year.

    Arches is spectacular. I highly recommend.

    And ya, it is tough to hit a show if you can't travel since they've dropped SLC from the tour, but honestly I can't blame them since attendance was so awful last time.

    I'm driving solo this year from SL,UT to the Gorge. I think my plan is to leave after work on Wednesday and drive to Boise (approx 5 1/2 hrs) then do the next 5 1/2 on Thursday. I will make it in plenty of time to meet up with the Vodderville Caravan at the Wildhorse monument.

    Have you been to the salt flats? Worth going?

    It was so bad. I'd go again. But it's a Wednesday. Too big of a pia for a crap set or performance. I might have had high hopes in 2013, but dreadful, is being nice.

    Just booked my room up at Tahoe, its a great little place within walking distance to the show (about 5 minutes). Big Pines Mountain House and Cheap $85. It doesn't look the greatest on the outside but its decent inside with a kitchenette and fireplace.

    It's definitely not a destination visit. I drive thru them every time I go home to Reno.

    If you're going that way it's worth a stop I guess.

    I had family living in Reno at one time, and we'd usually drive there from Montana via Twin Falls, through Jackpot, get on the freeway at Wells. Driving home one time, hubby was driving, I was sleeping. Wake up to salt flats as far as the eye could see. Ended up taking the long route through SLC. One turn, ONE TURN, and he missed it.

    Edit: And if memory serves me correctly, the salt flats weren't much to look at. Just a whole lot of white ground.

    What Dani said, but if you have the time and are so inclined to stop and take a picture. What route are you thinking of taking that will take you through Utah?

    Bryce and Zion are amazing, but much further south. If you drive Gorge to Utah it will take you 11 1/2 hrs to get to SLC which is where you'll cut over and head to Reno which is 7 1/2 hrs of nothing, but desert.

    I know you did Crater Lake last time, but have you looked at going down thru Bend? It's a pretty drive and Bend is a fun little town with lots of Breweries. It's about 4 1/2 hrs to Bend from Gorge then another 7ish to Stateline from Bend. I think that's the route I'm going to take. It also takes you through the Sierras which are gorgeous. FWIW I'm not trying to tell you what to do, LOL it's just I live here and make the drive all the time.

    i was lookin at this place thanks for the info! hope to see some true DMb fans here and the boys put on a lil bit better performance, we will settle for average rather than dreadful. im sure they are well aware when they have "off nights" and will make up for it!

    It is so long and monotonousl; however, my family lives in Reno and it's cheaper to drive than fly so I make it often. I play a game where I keep count of the highway patrol and dead animals I see. Highway Patrol high score 18 on the drive there the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

    It's so boring that the state of Utah allows you to pull over and park your car on the side of the road to sleep. Awesome.

    It looks like this will be my only show this year. Driving up on Wednesday to start acclimating for Tour de Tahoe on Sunday, 72 mile road ride around the lake, so might as well start with some DMB. Will have to skip the Shoreline show. Bummed to only do one show, but very excited to see the band at this venue!

    I'm really hoping that there aren't any wildland/forest fires going on this year during show time to mess up Dave's voice. The lake is so low it's scary.
