My fiancee Molly and I will be coming up from Charlotte, North Carolina. 17 hour trip that we'll split up between a couple of days, but we love the road trips. ;D
Never been to Maine before, so this will be awesome. Then, in October, we're going back for our honeymoon in Owl's Head.

Long Island, NY over here. Google Maps tells me it's about 6 hours worth of driving. That's much better than the 18-20 that I'm used to for Bonnaroo.
Never been to Maine either. Hope the weather is nice for the weekend of nateva.

Columbus OH here. Actually hoping to find someone to split a ride with, but I'll worry about that closer to the date. I don't mind the long drive, but I don't want to do it alone.

Hope the weather is nice for the weekend of nateva. Geez... 18-20 hours to sweat your nuts off for a weekend? Now that's commitment.  This'll be our first year since going to fests that we haven't done 'roo, and it pretty much came down to the fact that it's just too uncomfortable over there to enjoy ourselves. Rothbury's weather was AMAZING last year, and that's what we're looking for... so when Nateva popped up, it was like it was meant to be. |

We rented an RV and are making the trip from Stow, MA. Beats hell out of last year's Roo trip..... 22 hrs straight through in a 32' RV. Was ready to shoot myself by the time the music started. 2.5 hr drive this year... we'll be fresh and ready to get to work!

I'm coming from Brooklyn, NY. I'm going with a crew of heads from Maine and I think I might fly into Portland or take a train from NYC. Shouldn't be too bad.

I'm coming from CT-10 minutes away from Gathering of the Vibes. That's where I was last year. There's no way I'm going back, especially after that atrociously horrible lineup announcement. Nateva all the way!

Coming with my wife and a few friends from outside Prov, RI (in Massachusetts). Can't wait ... 2 fests within 3 hours of my place in one month. And I must disagree with millennium, GOTV finally got some diversity. Is it perfect? No, but I wouldn't call it an atrocity.

Springfield, PA
I think it's about 8 hours or so. But my wife's family lives near Hartford so I'll stop there Wednesday night and have a short 4 hour drive on Thursday morning.

Surry, Maine is where I'm from. A quick 2.5-3 hour drive to Oxford for me. Of course, the way I drive, I'll be there in 2 hours!!
I'm bringing my 12 year old daughter and possibly my partner with me. Depends on whether or not he has to work.

Whitefield/Augusta area. I think we may be meeting up with a few folks so we can drive in together. Shouldn't take more than 2 hours to get there for us!

Coming from Whitefield, ME! Should be a 2 hour drive for me  I'm from Nashville, TN so I went to all the Roos....The vibe and turnout at Roo has sucked the last few years (imo)...so here's to hoping Nateva is the bomb! |

6 hours is much better than the 16 for Rothbury I def feel that, took me 16 hours as well from NH. Not that I wouldnt do it again in a heartbeat. Hopefully when Roth comes back (pleaaaase) they will change the dates like they were talking about so I can do Michigan to Maine back to back!! I will be coming from NH again.. only 3 hours for me |

For me Roth was about 6 and Nateva is about 14, so I'm gonna be missing the short drive. But with the vibe that Nateva appears to be bringing, I'm gonna do it

Buffalo, NY. About a 9 hour drive. Though were seeing Furthur in Lowell on Wednesday so that will break up the drive into like 7 hours/2 hours...
