Re: Prankster giving many painful electric shock without consent
I remember this guy from the Reno decompression years ago, maybe 2014 or 2015? I sat in the chair & got zapped. Although I do seem to remember I knew I was getting shocked. And he wasn’t dressed as Santa.

Re: F-U bike theif @ Distrikt 8/30!!!
My bike got stolen out of camp, yeah I hadn’t locked it. Pissed. But apparently the Yellow Bike camp found it, but I gotta go to the playa to pick it up

Re: 2018 Playa Conditions
The smoke has been horrible here in Stagecoach. Some days couldn't see any of the hills/mountains, including the range right north of us. It's a little bit clearer now...I can see that range.
I hope it isn't as hot as last year. for the first time I left early, right before the burn on Saturday.

Re: Make Us Jealous
It was hot as hell during the day. Like, can't move from your chair, risk heat exhaustion/stroke by moving about hot. Most of our camp sat in the shade with misting bottles waiting for the sun to go down all day. Don't ever remember a burn so hot and this was my 12th. First time I ever left early to...

Re: 2017 Exodus: Traffic, stories, etc.
I left yesterday around sunset. No traffic, but saw the Tohakum2 fire burning in the mountains on 447. Eerie. There's a fire camp near Snoopy Rock and a lot of staging in Nixon.
Hearing the news of the suicide, I'm glad I left before the burn.

Re: If you 'Bring It' and will never have a fundraiser tell us about it.
Retrofrolic is self funded, with the exception that we started doing camp-outs during the year to a) use the stuff more than once a year and b) introduce others that might not burn to our brand of kinky fun. The camp outs cover expenses of the campouts and hopefully a bit more so we can replace or a...

Having both really helps because the wind is often generatin...
