    We're likely vacationing in York Beach, ME that week and July 12th is our anniversary, so this would be perfect. Doesn't look too far, 90 minutes maybe? How's the drive from there if we just plan on coming back to York that night. Also the lawn for kids? We took our little one to Darien Lake a few years back and she a blast, this time we'd be bringing 3, but it's either that or we don't go and that option seems silly, ha. Thanks for any advice,

    Locked down a hotel with a sweet cancelation policy just in case, now just need to butter up to nana to watch my daughter for a few days.

    It's not a direct route... But it's a nice drive. The lawn in Gilford is nice. Very green, lots of grass. I have no idea how it will be crowded with dmb fans. Was there two years ago for a show and most folks had their shoes off during the show.

    Was pretty excited to see these shows on the list and am actually cancelling some reservations to go to Alpine. No, I'm not crazy. I spent many a summer at Lake winnepasaukee and plan to rent a lake house for the week and visit some family now that i live on the west coast (grew up in MA). For those not familiar with the area, Meredith is a great town to stay in with some nice hotels and its not too far from gilford.

    yea Meredith seems really nice. I don't know much about these towns, just that I drive through them on the way to Jackson/North Conway

    BTW this venue is awesome. It's so tiny and intimate, i still can't believe they are playing here.

    I have seen Alison Krauss and Union Station/ Willie Nelson here, and can say there isn't a bad seat in the house.

    Place is pretty new, only like 20 yrs old. When i first went on 2007, it was basically just a grass field with a pavillion over the stage. Now its super nice. Now its won a few awards for being best "music venue of the year"

    Think this will be my DMB adventure this year. Tahoe is my home venue. Never been anywhere in the NE except NYC and our corp HQ in White Plains.

    Will getting around be a nightmare? I've seen a couple in this thread but towns to stay in and towns NOT to stay in (logistics)?

    Thinking of working at HQ for a few days and then driving up and making a week of it in NH and Maine.

    Def doing Berkeley. 4 shows in small venues would be niiiice!

    Booked 2 nights in Ashland for cheap. We decided this was where we wanted to go. I switched my work vacation week today to make it happen. We are looking forward to a new state. Now we just need tickets. I doubt WH will give us both nights.

    The venue is well off the major highway in a very touristy area so even when it's not race week, traffic is kind of a bitch. But the race is the wildcard...traffic will be even heavier and you'll get quite the mix of people. Will be interesting to see how it all goes down...

    This will be a tough ticket I'm guessing. I'll make my way in there somehow though. We had a lake house about 20 minutes away at Crystal Lake when I was a kid so this area is super nostalgic for me.

    Given the time of year, I decided to just book a campsite near the venue @ Ellacoya state park. I have a camper so I might as well use it! I was already getting nervous about the drive to the venue...even from my house that's only 30mi away.

    yeah, this is the annoying part for me. I'm about 45-50mil away and don't feel like taking both days off in the middle of the week. I'm wondering if i'll have trouble getting down there if i take a 1/2 day off for n2.

    I don't know if they've improved the traffic situation any... haven't been to a show there in a few years. But it was a shitshow. I can't imagine it would be difficult to get there on time if you left as early as a 1/2 day though.

    Appreciate it! Turns out a buddy may have a conflict. For those going...hope it's a blast! Small venues are a rarity and it looks like a cool spot once you're in.

    I just put my ticket requests into the warehouse. Hoping for both Gilford nights, and will most likely trade SPAC tickets for Gilford. Did two nights at SPAc last year. Had a great time but looking forward to experiencing this venue. My buddy and I also go Mountain Biking during these DMB trips. Found some great trails in Saratoga, but I see that there are two top rate trails in NH just at half hour away from Gilford. I am soo keen. Hope to be there.

    First time in 12 years I have not opted out for lawn. I just put in for tickets and figure with such a small venue, it will be hard to get one night, let alone both nights from the WH. We figure we would take our chances if we get lawn since it is such a small lawn. It's not like opted into the Hartford lawn.

    Sure hope we can get both nights. I almost bought a premium package to ensure we get a night and taking into consideration we might save on tickets next year.

    Any speculation where the band will stay? I'm searching for hotels now and everything super nice is already booked!
