[hackerspaces] gmc's tour of US hackerspaces (was Re: Hippie Hacker Tour 010)

[Don Ankney]

Vegas to NYC is about 4,000 km and there isn't a lot of density west of Chicago. You might want to bring some camping gear to spend some time in the national parks. Zion (where Bryce Canyon is) is right on the way, and you can run North through Salt Lake City into Yellowstone if you have time for the detour.

My European friends often don't fully visualize how large and open the middle of the US is. There's a lot to see there, but a lot of it is outside of the cities.

And I'm seconding the invitation to hang at the Black Lodge in Seattle.
