Lots of Nevada pin stripes on the Jeep - plus a few from Utah and Arizona. A few rock dents and some deep barbed wire cuts on the front bumper where I chose barbed wire versus deep ditch. This is the first Jeep I've owned that I haven't set on it's side. Even so I prefer to not have the interior bla...

I'm asking about the vinyl windows on a cloth top for a jeep or similar vehicle. The flexible rubber-y kind, not hard plastic or glass windows. Does it adhere well enough that you have to wipe it off, or does it get blown off when the wind gusts? On a side note... If you have a Jeep, place a small ...

My ice chests where under a camping table on top of two inch pieces of wood to keep them off the ground. The table was covered with a silver tarp that was just one inch off the ground. The whole outfit was also under a monkey hut. My ice were frozen one gallon milk jugs. I still had ice at the end o...

Folks are reporting that 447 in the Empire area was closed by mudslides today in both directions. :shock: We're DOOOMED!! From NDOT page a few minutes ago: "There is a conditions related event (Road Closed) on SR-447 in both directions in Empire, Washoe and Pershing Counties, Nevada. Road is closed...

I've been getting emergency notifications all week on my phone for flash flooding in my area. Last night I got one for a dust storm! Weather in Northern Nevada is plumb crazy this year!

Think talcum powder dust...

...or plastic bags to wrap the feet. Sure helped last year. Was exciting (scary) watching the lightening strike and bounce across the wet ground

A few from the phone. Forgot the camera. https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpf1/v/t1.0-9/10422525_1606268842989794_3317457773605552516_n.jpg?oh=f7d2ff0a4953ca878a00d8d78199ea1c&oe=56293325 https://scontent-sjc2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpa1/v/t1.0-9/10418963_1606265449656800_839626324431625...

Minor chance of plans. Definitely coming up Saturday. Traveling light - just food, beer and chairs. Not staying over night.

While I am currently an After Burner my avatar says it all.

(((((Goathead)))))

Ok naive foreigner here, are there actually bears there? Unlike Down Under where everything, including plants, are out to kill you, the bears here normally want nothing to do with humans. They just want food so be sure to store it away when away from camp. With all the people at the Hof it is extre...

A week and a half ago we were camping about 20 minutes from the Hof (didn't know it at the time). On the way into camp we spotted a momma bear and her cub. What is the bear situation at the Hof?

"run". What the hell auto correct?

Hmmmmm- wonder if that is good or bad Karma for you

Check my post in the Hof Party 2015 thread

Got room for another tent? RSVPing for myself and my Virtual Burner wife I say virtual since she has never been but has lived it vicariously over the years thru my pictures and endless stories We will come up Saturday, stay overnight and leave late Sunday afternoon/evening.

So close yet so far away. We were within 20 miles of Bowman Lake this last weekend. We were camping at Malakoff Diggins.

well dang........but all the best, to you, in whatever you do next!!! Our new inspirational quote is from Susan Sontag who said "I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list". Last semi-official count we've heard is there are 196 countries in the world. By the end of this year we will have visite...

OK Geo. Get ready. Here comes your virtual hug. (((geospyder))). That felt goooood. Ahhhh - that felt good. Got a couple real (non-virtual) hugs this morning from a couple local Burners that benefited from me gifting out some of my gear. I just received a phone call from one of my daughters. She kn...

The tattoo stays I may not go but I'm still an "Eternal Burner" One of the great things about living in the Reno/Sparks area is that I can attend a Burner party/event almost every week, year round, if I choose to do so.

Monkey hut, tent, bike, etc. gone. So it is now official. I am an "After Burner". Fabulous memories, made lots of friends, great experiences, definitely expanded my boundaries - now it's time to move on. Never say never - who knows what the future holds but as of now - no more Burning Man.

Couple years ago I was in Berlin and at Checkpoint Charlie there were civilians (at least I presume they were) dressed in mock US and Soviet military uniforms so tourists could pose with them. I was in the Navy (61-64) not the Army, but I was surprised at how upset I was seeing people pretending to...

I didn't get a ticket and since my granddaughter is getting married the Friday of Burning Man I'm opting not to go this year. Guess that makes me an After Burner But I did just receive a box of Pocket MVX Dust Masks. They will be for gifting next year.

keeping fingers crossed

I tend to wear jeans and t-shirts in the default world. Fairly bland. At Burning Man I wear very bright colored tie dye shirts, mismatched socks, painted shoes and a colorful buff. Chance to be something different. Last year I heard someone say "Look how colorful that guy is." Had the effect I wante...

I have a list of items to purchase/make but everyting is on hold until I can get "that one item" - a ticket

No ticket - no vehicle pass

day after tomorrow

FUCK!

Damn, that felt good to release a little tension
