thx portaplaya for the GE tip .. now I just need to figure out how to plot those routes .. or have GE show different routes. When I get directions from Seattle to Gerlach .. GE only shows one route.

Hmm .. it must have been after (south) Eugene and into northern Cali it was really mountainy. The Westy was overheating alot on I-5 from south of Eugene, OR to Redding, CA. I just noticed that Google Maps has Bike route, which according to them plots flattest routes. And it is very close looking to ...

Which is the flattest, least Mountainous route to Gerlach/BRC, from Seattle? I ask because the route we took 2 years ago was harsh on the old, overpacked & underpowered VW Westfalia. I know it's not #1 .. 2 years ago I ride shared with a friends and kind of took that route .. but to Reno. This year ...

We're gonna run with the 7 gallon aquatainers this year, http://www.relianceproducts.com/images/resize/640x640/Aqua-Tainer-with-BPA.jpg In price shopping them, we found that the evil empire of Wal Mart is selling them in the $8 range vs $16 to $20 everywhere else for them. I built out the bed deck ...

Get a few of those electric bread cutting knives to shape everything. Works like a charm.

Eh, just for for a monkeyhut. Its playa tested and approved. I've used mine for three years straight and had NO issues with it. You almost have the same design anyways. My MH has a floor plan of 12x10 with the ten foot section being the length and twelve being the width. I can stand up in it and I ...

Does it matter what kind of vinegar? cider, white, distilled, etc..

Miles & Bob: I am going to build the Monkey Hut version, no I have not tried it yet.

Miles: I am going to use a 20x10 heavy tarp, and I was thinking the pipe on the bottom would be good for strapping down the tarp better, and possible anchors for U shaped rebar.

Sushi, Sake, General Tso's

Would cutting U's into the fabric help with the structure staying down in a windstorm since the wind would be able to travel through it? Just curious. It would, but would also make lil sun patches in the shade. edit: yeah the ripping, I think Ima gona go for a 20'x10' HD tarp, seems fairly cheep & ...

I would suggest checking out the Monkey Hut for a playa tested version of what it looks like you're trying to achieve. Always remember- the winds can hit 70mph+ and your shade structure needs to survive that. Yes that is waht I am wanting to make! They used 5ft sections for the arch/top, so there w...

I am thinking of maybe on the 'legs' that sit on the Playa, drilling out some holes to hammer the rebar in at a slight angle to help secure it down. Or some how bending the rebar to a 7 like shape and poking the rebar thru a hole on the PVC. I would like to use Shade Cloth, but I think it would get ...

10ft by 10ft square
3/4" PVC pipe, or 1"
Tees at intersections, not glued, maybe some light glue
2ft rebar, 1/2 pounded in Playa or 3ft rebar for the 1.5ft riser version
bed sheets with zip ties holding them on

This was one of my fav art installs this year, such cool idea! one suggestion for next year, is to have black velvet type stuff around the head opening, to limit/eliminate sunlight leaking in.

or maybe something more like the 1927 Fritz Lang movie. The world divided between the workers and the thinkers. (doers and the spectators? me being one of the ultimate spectators this year! Couch Spectato.) Same here...but I also thought if the Anime of the same title. anywho, this pic with a BM ef...

I saw it too..but just barely...my sunglasses and/or goggles were too dusty to read anything else besides the sugary bit. me and my friends were also "there's something we'll never buy because of this ad..whatever it is."

How's the Playa condition this year? Last year was very bad, big thick patches of dust everywhere.

Tanks mates! Like I said before, I should be somewhere around 4:15 and A.

I'll post a message at Center Camp to Dog Tags, from Joshatdot with where I am =)

Not exactly as how I designed them in AI, but they're cool!

Wow I didn't know it would be such a wanted item. They come with 24" nickle plated ball chain. I planned on getting 100 of em made, and if I can afford it 100 more (but next price break is at 500..that's abit too much for me ATM). Last year I was at 4:15 & A, I stayed with friends at Camp Shift, bac...

I've been thinking of what to do for Gifts, and thought Dog Tags would be cool.

Black with logo & text laser engraved. This is what I've got so far, click for bigger one.

Thank you.

I was looking for same thing, Burning Man effigy. I Google'd forever...but this one site had me surprised of where I got it!

Dancing while the Sun rised? raised? Thursday morning at Opulent Temple ... only in my underwear & goggles.

this was The Deep End's last year?! Crap I would have hung out there more this year, I loved it there!

Now where should I go, next year, for awesome music, dancing & drinks during the day?

Nice
