Turtle....heading to SD Thursday-Sunday this week for a conference and then back xmas with the fam. If you have some "must do" hikes or anything other "don't misses" let me know.
The lack of respect always blows me away. grateful shred? Ghost Light? Circles without Casal? keller williams? I like Jackie Greene and Melvin, but how do they rate above the best band in the land? Total BULLSHIT!
>>>>Ghost Light is quite good and plays original music, not doing GD covers.
Agreed. Seeing them this Saturday night. They do some covers, like the epic "Keep on Growing" they did at NWSS this past summer, but with all those straight up GD cover bands at this fest, it would be good to get some original or non-Dead music mixed in to keep it fresh.

Though temporarily closed due to flooding this might be open by then. Some miles from the Fairgrounds but looks like a good place to camp if all other options are full..
Would love to do it. Looks like the best lineup they ever had for this. Saw every Ventura show back in the day. Live on the East coast though. We'll see.
Rincon parkway also has “camping”. Please understand most of these “campgrounds” are car camping, with only a parking space but you’re right on top of the ocean. For example Emma Wood does not allow tents in general camping. Emma Wood has bike paths and trails to the fairgrounds, I believe.
When the GD played there would sometimes cross the train bridge and camp just north of the fairground on the beach for free. Not sure if it's still possible, plus maybe you can walk along the coast now. Back then there was a little lagoon so to go north on the coast you had to cross the bridge or swim.
You are correct, the train bridge is still there spanning the Ventura river. It’s possible that in April the Ventura river will be flowing to the ocean making the beach impassible.

I think it's hard to deny a backside stand up barreled skeleton on an overhead wave.
All red is bit harsh though.
I think there could possibly be some waves at the fairgrounds, in early april, during this event.

well, it's possible, but C st. is more of a winter time wave. still should have a lil something but april is finicky...

Emma Wood and Faria
Emma Wood and Faria campgrounds are near the fairgrounds and much closer than carpenteria. Emma Wood is the closest state beach, closer than McGrath.
There is also Ventura RV Park really close to the fairgrounds, also closer than McGrath.
