1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    So here's the delio...
    I'm gonna be buying a van pretty soon, and when I do, instead of trippin around Canada which I have already done, I've been thinking of heading down south. I was just wondering if any of you guys had any recommendations of places to go. I'm living in BC so think og places somewhat near there. I wanna do a lot of camping, but I also wanna check outsome cities too. Just throw some names in th air.

    Well how much of the US do you wanna see, definitly the parks out west like zion and yellowstone and glacier natl., then for the big citys you could start in seattle then go to LA and San Fransico. Las Vegas is reletivtly close. If you wanna come to the East coast, NYC is a definite and Atlanta is alot of fun

    well, theres a beach off us 101 about 20miles north of arcata, 3 miles south of aurik you can camp for free if ya wanna chill for a minute. i dont suggest SF or LA or Atlanta or NYC those places suck. too big and mean. Mizzoula Montana is nice, Eugene or Portland Oregon, Madison Wisconsin, all kinda close to you. actually now that i think of it, every city in America sucks. just play it by ear. you can always park overnite at a walmart it ya wanna save a buck and stretch the trip. excellent summer music festivals in the appalachian mountains out here, thats where im at every summer

    The 101 all down the coast of Washington is gorgeous camping-- you can pull off into abandoned logging roads to camp for a night pretty easily, at least my husband and I did when we first met.

    I'd vote on San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Phoenix and Taos,

    camping in Zion National Park in Utah, Kartchner Caverns state park in AZ, 4/20 gathering in I guess AZ and do a search for hot springs.

    Those are my suggestions. Hope you have the time of your life :)
