HG Crosby- I think you and I would disagree big time on what constitutes gifting

I would argue that Gifting is Burning Man, As a citizen of Black Rock City you give and you receive, if you do not understand gifting you are a tourist. Our community gift (the sum of the parts) is your adventure. A citizen’s gift is the currency of burning man. Gifting is the wellspring from which ...

Our drive back to upstate NY seemed longer and harder than the drive to Black Rock City. Plenty of burner traffic on I-80 east heading home distinguished by dust and bikes. What if we booked the same motels and shared some meals and decompressed together on that seemly endless drive. Just need to do...

Black Rock City Snowshoe Team . ADK Camp (6:35 & F at AEZ Village) was pleased to host the founding of the Black Rock City Snowshoe Team of 60+ ramblers. Teammates danced and raced on the desert with four foot shoes around high noon. Daily ramble preceded and followed by hours of pure Maple Syrup s...

truck scales for mini van? I thought the same thing. Since when did they start requiring mini vans to go through truck scales??? I reaaaaaally don't think there's a limit to how much you can pack in one. Anyone have any documentation/links otherwise? Our van can haul 1200lbs including passengers (c...

Newb mistake :!: Everything fit into and on the minivan fine, but then, took it to the truck scales, ouch!! Over weight by 250 pounds. Water for two not included. Tough decisions. So about, half of shade structure, half of camp furniture, half of maple syrup for gifting shooters, and gasp, our bikes...

BACON ADVENTURE. If the timing is right on our drive West we hope to stop in Des Moines, for bacon wrapped tatter tots at High Life Lounge (of man verses food fame) Leaving Adirondacks in TWO days for Black Rock City. Soon!

we practice catch and release - well, maybe………

Wheel covers / spinners today, coroplast (plastic cardboard) and various mylar and reflective tapes. Covers can become an issue in wind so only front wheels dressed on bikes. Covers are quick and easy to remove using plastic nuts / bolts. If we have tape failure we shall stop using. If you should se...

Hi Melaniejane - wave as you drive by

Hi Elixirplaya, Toots & Bean are northern New York newbs and we live an easy several hour drive from our favorite fun city, Montreal. So Hello to Montreal! The folks that have posted to your thread are very helpful so our noob advice is to listen to them. Please stop by ADK camp to say hello- find d...

I'll bite. One liter. I use it to rinse my dishes over a large funnel that contains a wad of aquarium filter floss, drains into gray water collecting container. This cuts down on water used for washing dishes. The floss dries with the dish and cooking moop, and goes in the trash. I also use the spr...

Whoops! First attempt to pack mini van and not enough room. So, "most assume thermometer" stays home, so we can fit sleeping tent / bedding / mats.

We might have a day for a side trip and at first glance this looks like a 7 or more hour side trip to be back on 80. Been interested in this man’s and communities obsession and would like to se...

I would utterly love to. 8) Thank you for the invitation!

Do you have some plan for attaching that at the bottom? I would assume the wind slamming that back and forth into your structure would get annoying rather quickly.

finished our hanging camp sign today, designed from info found in several eplaya threads, posting a photo but it does seem a bit like COMMERCE Maybe gifting commerce anyway rolls up for travel

Play+Tom, we do stop for a visit with friends in Wells so thanks for the thumbs down on the Four Way Cafe near breakfast time I like to stop at this little greasy spoon called the Cornhusker Cafe in Iowa Hi J Step- The fact that I can't find a link for cornhusker is good!
