not really any from my part of florida...im kinda like a lone ranger but i like that. Ummm... the city i grew up in Homestead, Fl had a ton of dreadheads everywere. Most were african american tho, still to this day i dont see many caucasion dreads and have seen 0 hispanic ones around here or there for a matter of fact
gotta agree on florida, seen maybe 2-3people with them, and alot of young locks that were maybe a few inches long,met one guy who had them down his back but said it got too hot to keep them and I would understand when mine got longer,<-- hispanic btw,, well half anyways :Pstrangely enough i saw alot of people with dreadlocks in Fiji and New Zealand when i was there.

Bahamas for me. Saw a pretty kool white guy there with blonde dreads but most guys there were african american and most had dreads as well. They all had the kool accent too, haha. I actually think that I MAY have seen a dreadhead in Wyoming but he had a tam on so who knows. I'd like to visit New Zealand one day. I'm moving to Washington next year and I'm going to be going to the gathering so I'm sure that I'll see lots of dreads next year. Momma has dreads already told me there were a lot of dread heads in Washington. =)

I live in Ocean Beach, San Diego and I'd say there is definitely a fair share of dreadies in my town. I mean, my boyfriend and two of my roommates have dreads, and well as many of my friends. OB is a town for travelers, there are always tons of traveling dreads coming in and out. Most places of business employ dreadheads because they give an authentic hippie vibe for their shops!

In agree. Most beachy areas in so cal will have a good amount of dreadies. I hear there are alot up north as well. But im out here in riverside and I see a few (usually during the art walk).I mostly see them when my family goes to quartzsite, AZ though. During the gem show you see alot of them. and when i went to niagra falls in canada i saw quite a few as well. Earth Rose said:
