June 24-27

SOAK* is a multi-day arts festival and camping event on 110 acres of meadows, a swimming hole, and wooded trails located just an hour south of Portland. This is a place to meet your fellow Portland Burners and get a taste of Burningman Northwest style. We'll have Fire Performances, Art, a central covered space, DJ's, live music, Theme Camps, Workshops and the burning of The SpaceMan on Saturday. We are completely kid, and family friendly.

Yes they were! Gabriel came over to the motor-home sitting on some guys shoulders. He and his girl friend wanted to know if it would be okay to take Gabriel on a nature walk and go catch frogs together. They had been camped near us. Gabriel had wandered into their area and made himself right at home. He was sharing bubbles with the adults. Unfortunately it was dinner time, then off to bed. The next day Sam came over again. We all went on a walk together and watched while people practiced poi. Gabriel LOVED SOAK!!! He was at Future Burners Of America a lot of the time doing craft projects and swam in the swimming hole with Guillermo and Cory. It was way too cold for me, but he didn't seem to mind at all.
