I am coming from BC (Canada) with a friend and rental car, down to BMan. He will take the car back to Vancouver, but I want to hit SF after that. So I am looking for a 1-way BRC - SF, ideally not in a hurry to hit SF. I will have a regular/medium gear load, no major schedule post-Burn, but also very...

I also like that first look around. The first visit to the Cafe is always great. I love watcing the city expand and take shape, too. Some friends of mine climbed our neighbour's windmill tower twice a day in 2000 (my 1st year), and they would take a photo at the same angle every day, once at noon an...

good advice about fiinding local groups. Another thread's discussing whether Burners feel comf. camping w/ peeps they don't know -- hence the suggestion "get to know who you'll be camping with" -- but that's for theme camps. Lots of people kinda DIY and make new friends etc, when it comes to communi...

I have one I *ahem* liberated from the Home Despot in Klamath Falls last year. It is a huge orange tarp (I dunno how big -- maybe 25'x25'?) and I don't even know if they sell these. It seems to be made of a kind of thick canvas -- maybe rubbercoated or waterproof/resistant? --has grommets and solid ...

surprised nobody's said Fear and Loathing ...

Rum...

I like to say: "it's Nevada's fifth-largest city -- and it exists for only one week a year."

Usually that comes somewhere after mentions of flame cannons, nudity, art car, Kabuki Bondage Theatre, website referrals, etc.

But yeah, it's just a fucking camping trip is always a good one.

You know, the beaver is Canada's national animal, it's even on our coins (nickels). Like the eagle in the US. Which one slaps its tail? :? :D Does the Great Canadian Beaver Eating Contest still exist? I'm not even sure it was Canadians running it -- anyone? (btw there's a typo in the URL a few posts...
