I’m in New York on a flying visit this weekend, and yesterday I made it up to Bethel Woods, the town where the first Woodstock festival was held, for some research. It was a pretty powerful spot, somewhat to my surprise – more on that soon.
In the meantime, here I am with museum interpreter Duke Devlin:

This week I’ll be making my way to Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon, where I’ll stay for about a month. Not counting a trip to Yellowknife as a toddler, it’s my first time “north of 60” – I can’t wait.
One other quick note: the latest World Hum Travel Movie Club is up. This time around, Eli and I debate the merits of the Dave Eggers-penned Away We Go.
Wow. Looks like a beautiful area now. Dude looks like a member of ZZ Top!
Agreed, Dan! (On both points.) It was really beautiful, and amazingly quiet. I didn’t expect that.
