We're in District 9... I'm worried I'm a bit too old for that, but by the time we decided to go, there was no Gold left. I'm hearty though. And what better way to throw off the COVID blues than to party my ass off for four nights among some damn fine people!
District 9 is A-OK in my book. Of course, I've got nothing to compare it to...did general camping for my first time in 2014 when I was 33. Haven't been back until this year, and doing general again. We'll see if being the big 4-0 this time makes for a tougher trip! But like you said, just gotta be hearty and it'll all work out.

I'm spending N0 with some friends who live in the Portland area before driving out Friday morning...which is what I did last time, and I don't recall the traffic being all that bad getting into camp early on Friday afternoon. Hopefully now that (most?) camping passes are digital, it will be pretty smooth getting in.
