...and on your way in, stop by my place in town for a cup of coffee.

If true, this is sad news. He was a kind, sweet human. Meat Hunter entered my life about a decade ago, as a result of one of my custom sticker offers. I've since made decals for various bikes, carts, and other items he put together. I'd generally hear from him every couple of months. "Joe, did you k...

I'm not coming unless lonesomebri is there.

So you’ll just park your truck on the street in front of camp and glare in through the door like usual then?

On the street? You're lucky the brick was there.

I'm not coming unless lonesomebri is there.

I'd think 18" or 24" lags would hold that base down fine against the wind.
Other forces (vehicles, climbers) would probably cause it to shear at the base before the lags failed.

I'll be here waving!

That's a great idea, and one that I know has been bantered about in some form or fashion.
As a homeowner, Ima look into this with the county. Thanks for the nudge.

Thanks for posting these.
Both meetings were informative and the Community Center swamp cooler is always nice to experience.

Magina is an old ABC/Camp Threat campmate and needs a ride from the Reno Airport to my place in Gerlach. She doing some grocery shopping and may have a cooler and a bag of food, but otherwise unencumbered by all the things. I'll confirm she's fun and can sing. So much so that I've invited lonesomebr...

Playa is really, really nice right now. Hard-packed with almost no dunes.
We've had cool temps, frequent light rain, and lots of clouds over the last month or so, which may have something to do with it.

As you mentioned, solid tarps are much, much more prone to wind damage. We regularly deploy 8' high, open wave shade cloth structures without guylines and they do fine in moderate, up to 30mph winds. Solid tarps require guys in any winds. Period. I've been a fan of Aluminet, but last year we had a 3...

I like that you can laugh at yourself, Lucky. I laugh at you too. We've been pretty dry (compared to Reno) up until this last system, though there's been a good bit of ice/water in the center of the playa all season. Today, there has been more snow up towards the playa than in Gerlach. I'll try to g...

Talking to God.

I'm here Sparr, and have always have a soft spot for you after you misted either me or my windshield during Exodus one year. If I can't do it, maybe I can find someone who will.

SWIM put 350 miles on an e-bike over three weeks on playa this year. Pre and Post event, speed limits are 20 mph. During the event, the outer, less crowded streets and open playa can be safe, if not legal, at this speed. SWIM only rode sober, is experienced on e-bikes, and had a back issue that woul...

Yeah, leave it to bri to "facilitate". He's mastered being a player without actually assuming any responsibilities. I'm in awe. @Elorum, the solar trailer has found a new home elsewhere. I'll be running running 200Watt/100AH Lifepo4 on our travel trailer along with my similar-sized, standalone homeb...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Camped out at an undisclosed location in the desert

In 2011 when the event sold out for the first time, there was talk of an overflow party on the adjacent Smoke Creek Desert.
That plan was shut down pretty quickly.

Lots to think about and I'm sure you'll get good advice here and elsewhere.
I'd encourage you to trust your best judgment and keep your head in a good place.
Ygmirs comment that this is an adventure hit home for me. This move could be your burn.
Try to (mostly) keep your top on tho

Final rendition.

Half-face respirator approved!

If nothing else Token, you are my canary in the coal mine.
Be well.

and Jesus Fuck, you're ugly.

This just in.

On the first day of Christmas.....

I wandered into 1st camp during EA looking for a Blue Room and found a set of four composting toilets. Made of steel, on a platform 4-5 feet high, perforated steel floor for the dust to come in. A bunch of machinery in a separate compartment behind them. Couldn't get a good look at the machinery bu...

OK Eplayans. I get it.

It was the only time I visited with you, so it was worth going.
Much thanks to gaminwench and D3D

A couple of rain cells and some pretty wild lightning east of the playa made sunset on Friday pretty spiffy. Current conditions in Gerlach The "potato chips" are getting crushed by tires and feet, but underneath is rock hard. In a twist, much of the 3 side didn't chip up and is normal looking, hard ...

Or your camp could organize on exodus a lag screw drop and pick up depot for reuse. CoLagxodus? You do a lot of damage to the reputation of all burners by trying to return used items as new to local businesses. Yeah, unfortunate. Hopefully the OP (and many others) read this and does a little reflec...

Here you go, Meat Hunter.
