Hey Chris I will be going with some friends don't know if we will have room for another person yet but even if we don't you are welcome to join our convoy if just for the company along the way I am sure someone would ride with you to keep from going crazy.

Thanks for all the input guys I think I am going to use and arched structure instead of this design. That structure seems to be well and tested and I don't need to test a new design on the playa my first year. Maybe next year I will give it a try for a second shade covering.

Plowman I have only talked to one of my camp mates at this moment and know only about half but we should be getting together here soon to talk shop and what we will be doing I will be sure to throw that idea their way.

While I did not know much about Burning Man until a couple of months ago what I heard intrigued me. So I began my research into what Burning Man is all about the more I read the more I began to fall in love with the idea. Now that I have finally saved up the money I will be going to this year. I wil...
