We are heading back to Slab City in the desert of Southern California near the Salton Sea! This is the site of the annual New Year Hitchhiker Happening, and also the place that Chris McCandless lived for a while (see INTO THE WILD movie and book).
JOIN US for a weekend of camping, music, storytelling and filmmaking. All are invited, and there is no charge. Camp for free and donate to the musicians and community.
We are also looking for people to interview for a documentary film about hitchhiking, hospitality hosting, and using the internet to help you travel. Let us know if you are interested in volunteering for the film or being interviewed.

This special event was launched in part because Bernd \"The Thumb\" Wechner will be coming from Australia. Bernd is one of the first hitchhikers to use the internet to share resources, and was the inspiration behind the first North American Hitchhiker Gathering held in Seattle 2002. He was also an inspiration to the founding of Hospitality Club. Meet him, as well as filmmaker Craig Constantine of Ice Road Truckers and director of an upcoming hitchhiking documentary. Other web-known hitchhikers and road culture enthusiasts will be there, and we hope to see you, too!
Live music at The Range Saturday night (April 5th), including He\'s My Brother, She\'s My Sister... and talented local musicians. If you play an instrument, bring it along and jam onstage!
