For the first time, I’m actually committing to a music festival. I feel a little bit guilty that I’ve lived this close to The Gorge my entire life and have never seen a live show there. I’ve come very close many times, but have never quite made it. For those of you that don’t know, The Gorge is an amazing outdoor ampitheater surrounded by breathtaking views of the Columbia River. It’s well hailed as one of the most scenic concert locations in the world. Feast your eyes:
