HackTrip 1.0
I’ve really enjoyed my experience with my local HackSpace (Modlab). I’d like to meet more people within maker and hacker community so I’d like to do road trips (perhaps 2-4 weeks) to learn more about the wider community.
The more the merrier, so everybody who’s interested please stay in touch! Not dates are set so lets talk it up! Please comment or email me at darcy@siteware.com.
1) What times are good for you to make a trip?
2) Are there any other points of interest to add to the list?
I’d like to write about everything I learn on these road trips as well as take loads of pictures and video.
I’ve listed the hackerspaces and points of interest in the rough order they are on the map.
Looking at all the hackerspaces, it looks like there are two main legs of the journey. Toronto Cluster and East Coast Cluster.

East Coast Hack Cluster
I suppose the East Coast Cluster could run from Philadelphia to Portland. I know there are lots of conflicts in open house times so perhaps the trip could be done in two directions, once on the way down, and then on the way back up to catch what was missed on the way down.

Would you kindly update the url at http://mambohead.com/2010/12/hacker-road-trip/ pointing to harfordhackerspace.org to baltimorehackerspace.com since it is now out of date. Thank you.
I just did it. Did I get it right?
