Am I the only one who thinks the word palindrome should be a palindrome? It just makes so much sense.

I get that everyone likes to have a weekend of drunken, dirty, partying full of dancing and music...but I really (really) like to be somewhat clean. I've read that the shower situation can be less-than-desirable, and I love the idea of a solar shower.
Do many people use these at Sasquatch? I don't have one, but my girlfriend and I have discussed getting one for this purpose. Do any of you have them? Love them/hate them?
This may be silly, but where would one get the water for such a device? Is it available there?
Thanks for helping me! 8)

I saw at least a few people using solar showers last year. There's sinks at most if not all of the honey bucket areas, which are all over the place. It's pretty easy to get water.

...not if you're going to get uptight about something like showering, though. If having to shower every single day while you're at a festival is a sticking point, you're going to hate the campgrounds regardless of the shower situation. Or here I'll just quote what he'll tell you.

Water is really easy to get, there are re-fill stations everywhere. Some people just do sponge baths right at the re-fill stations. Just put on a bathing suit, spray yourself with water (it's usually pretty cold), soap up and rinse off.

Thanks so much, guys. I appreciate it! I'll be the one smelling like posies and glimmering with cleanliness in the midday sun. Come say hi. And if you like, you can shower too. Maybe. This is my first Sasquatch experience and I don't know about all of you dirty birds yet. I would love to go swimming in a river, too. Anyone know for sure where/how I can make this happen while there? Thanks again.

I definitely shower daily. Between being a germaphobe and sweating like a mofo at festivals, I absolutely require a cleansing once a day. And the showers aren't bad at all. Just make sure you bring flip-flops.

I had one proper shower last year.. I'm hoping for at least two this year. I usually shower twice a day, but I'm also a friggen trooper, so if I need to be dirty, I'll be dirty and love every second.
I prefer to not smell like shit, though.

Hey Sara(h)nater, thanks, and I hope you get every shower you've ever dreamed of. I think we are coming from the same city as you - can you tell me the route you take? Do you just Google map it and hope for the best? Which crossing do you like to use?

Last year we visited a friend's parents in Kelowna on the way and to drop her dog off, so we took a different crossing than the one we'll take this year. One of the dudes I'm going down with, its his third or fourth year, so I figure I'll just trust him. He says we will be stopping in "sandypoint" to load up, so whatever crossing takes you there.
Yup, I'm useless. Want to get shitfaced in the shower lineup with me?
Also, to the other people: is the shower open at night?

Kings Gate would be the crossing you'll be utilizing if you're going from Calgary to Sandpoint.

yeah. From Calgary, you basically drive to Cranbrook, BC (via Highway 3) then follow the signs south the border. You'll pass through Bonner's Ferry, ID and then Sandpoint, ID. Google maps does indeed know the way. It's probably the fastest way to get to Sasquatch from Calgary, but beware the border - crossing times can get lengthy since lots of people cross at that border crossing for Sasquatch.

I know I've posted this on the board at least a half-dozen times in the past 2 years, but SLOW THE FUCK DOWN going through Bonner's Ferry. There WILL be a speed-trap coming down the hill.
This has just been backed up by a coworker of mine who drove down to Couer d'alene last week.
