My get-away, (having lived and worked in the Cuyamacas for 10 years), is the Strawberry Music Festival.
It is every Memorial and Labor day weeekend.I'm usually there at least a week before and stay for at least a week after.I get to camp in the High Sierras with no one around and watch as the camp slowly builds to its climax of 5,000 to 6,000 people,4 days of glorious music and 24 hour a day jams, and then get to watch every body leave and peace and quiet return to the forest.
That's when the music comes back out of the trees.
