Our destination was 2,475 miles away, round trip. Our vehicle was an SUV that got about 20 miles to the gallon. The cost of gas ranged from $4.20 in upstate New York to $3.99 in Ohio to $3.91 in Massachusetts. Yet, even though we spent about $500 on gas alone, the cost of spending the Fourth of July weekend with Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer and many others was absolutely worth it.
That weekend, three friends and I with varying concert experience piled into a car to drive 20 hours to the first Rothbury Music Festival in Rothbury, Mich. For four days, 60,000 people from across the United States tented in a giant Michigan field in order to see a lineup with the biggest and best names of American music.
