Re: West Nile... Fake or Real
So they found a few mosquitos in Gerlach...that's scary, right? Unless you put it in context: this week alone, they found 181 mosquitos carrying it in California. Odds are, that that week at Burning Man, you were safer from West Nile than the rest of your year.

Re: Exodus 2013
You are right - there's nothing that you can do on the GPE end when the highway is the limit. If you want to fix it with unlimited money, turn 447 into a six lane highway.unjonharley wrote:The one big stone in the hwy is there no matter how you pave it..

Is it just me or was this a mooptastic year?

Re: law enforcement 2013
And it's the first year that I saw everybody go 5mph on the gate road. Which was absolutely wonderful! Not only did it make my job at gate much safer, it also left the roads intact for exodus. I remember years where exodus was a horribly bumpy ride because all the cars speeding had turned gate road...

Re: Exodus 2013 - How was it?
GPE nails it again? Good job guys! Credit goes mostly to participants spreading their departures instead of all leaving at the same time. While we're trying to do as much as we can to make Exodus (and entry of course) as good as possible, everyone is contributing their own share by not driving tire...

Re: Find ticket on playa?
Whatever you do, don't bet on a free ticket in gate line. If you show up at gate one ticket short, you will be sent back to Reno. There is no waiting room for people waiting for miracle tickets.

If you strip a lazy unprepared sparkle pony of their sparkle, you still end up with a lazy unprepared pony. When you let it wear skimpy outfits, at least it's good for decoration.

We are 3 virginburners who is coming by Rv from Las Vegas. We have decided not to join a theme camp our first burn. But when scrolling to all the pages it seems like 99% are in a camp. I might be wrong ;) . Many of us are without theme camps. It's good - no camp fees, no camp duties, just freedom. :)

Unless you carry a compass during a whiteout and know how to use it, sit it out. The goggles are primarily for protecting your eyes from the dust...seeing is secondary.
