Because I work with website every single day, and know most of the software they are using. At one point I was going to build the new Burning Man website but I didn't live close enough to get on the team.

Did you read a thing I said man...? I was saying that I want the lottery system. But if I can't have it, can we do some work on making everyone have fair chance, because 12 noon is apparently not the real time these thing keep opening up. It seems to be a bit sooner. Looking at this post we're looki...

I would really like to know why we have to do this rat race at noon BS. All I want, is to put my name in a hat, and if I get lucky, I get lucky. I'm tired of trying to compare the Burning Man Server time to my time, and figuring out when the gates really do open. I feel like this goes against what B...

OOO look what I just found http://blackrockdesert.org/ebook/

Ya getting stuck is have the fun, getting out is the other half.

LOL, I'll keep an eye for it.

chicks dig that shit.

Not compensating, I just like to off-road and h3 with locking axles was 1/3 less than a four door Rubicon of the same year.

I keep hearing the your going to get stuck part... and maybe I have under sold my knowledge of driving off-road too much, which I like to do, but I'm not worried about getting stuck.

That's what I figure, just thought I would add a bit more fun if I could and have the benefit of avoid getting in line as long as I can.

Any idea where that is located? From the aerial views they just don't look as good getting back on to 34.

I love how exploring just consumes me, and all my problem fall to the way side. I find a place in my mind where I'm truly free and content with the world around me.

I'm not sure how far south the closure area goes, but I really don't think that south of the event is the way to go. Too much crap going on... I would be 3.5 miles south of the restricted area as long as the map is correct. just be really sure, you are well outside the closure. It's not worth the t...

We crossed north of there. I don't know if this link will word but point C is where we crossed. I don't know the condition of the one you're looking at. https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=40.696604,-119.349327&daddr=40.723986,+-119.225993+to:Unknown+road&hl=en&ll=40.723645,-119.225414&spn=0.001386,...

The south end of the Playa by Gerlach can still be moist even this late in the summer. Don't try driving across the wet Playa or you will get stuck. It's also moist around the Frog Pond. It can be done, just watch where you're going. There is a place you can cross the tracks, sorta. A little ways n...

Well this looks like the best option... bummer I can find a crossing further south. https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=40.696604,-119.349327&daddr=40.723986,+-119.225993&hl=en&ll=40.709402,-119.282169&spn=0.110475,0.264187&sll=40.696506,-119.34702&sspn=0.003453,0.008256&t=h&mra=me&mrsp=0,1&sz=18&z=13

Wait a minute, looks like the train tracks are fenced in and I'm not seeing a pace to cross it...

Hmm. Been studying the map, and it seems that It maybe better to cross over Playa to the south, because of the very few entrances up north of it. I would rather go north, but just seems like a bad idea... maybe I will roll through Gerlach. Decisions, Decisions. Could always have the map in hand to s...

Savannah wrote:Hee. Nice to meet you!

Well, thanks, always been a fan of your posts on here.

Seeing as the last pictures went over so well thought I would post another of me in celebration of the first sighting of BM. Well, the dust cloud that held BM with in it.

Oldguy wrote:Love the map and the pictures, thank you. I notice Playa elevation is 1108' to 1120'. I thought we were higher, but at 110F density altitude will thin the air some.

Playa is high desert, no way it is that low, must be in meters.

NO JOKE. :shock: My friend Tonya and I took Jungo Road in a 4 door sedan one pitch black night in 2001. It looked shorter on the map. :D But we had to go slow, and we couldn't see the beauty of the place, just the blackness and the claustrophobic, creeping shrubs . . . 136 rabbits attempted suicide...

I would love to stop and get a photo of those, unless it is something I'm not suppose to go to. Do you have an idea how I would find them?

Savannah wrote:Beautiful!

I wish that the one time I traveled Jungo Road it hadn't been at night.

At was fun too, so many Jack Rabbits, couldn't believe it. This desert has more life in then I would have thought of.

Eric wrote:Wow - stunning photos!

Makes me happy to have shared them.

I recommend staying WELL north -- to keep me from getting itchy on the trigger finger. Seriously, any traffic within binocular-range raises the blood pressures of several GP&E volunteers you never hear of. So... we appreciate your courtesy in not approaching the Closure Zone unnecessarily. Now star...

Seeing as you guys were so proactive of helping me, I thought I should share a few photo's I took along the way. http://schwarttzy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Jungo-Road-Short-Cut-to-Burning-Man.jpg http://schwarttzy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Jungo-Road-Winnemucca-to-Gerlach.jpg http://schwa...

LOL, ya it does. My brother, sister, and I were having a blast dancing at Distrikt when that photo was taken. The guy in the robe and sun glasses is my little-bigger brother. He's a monster at 6'7" 275lb., however I'm the older responsible one.

. Click on the BLM Closure Order Map: http://www.burningman.com/preparation/blm_stipulations/blmstipulations.html#.UgFZn6y0TFw This opens a PDF map. The zigzagging brown line is the closure zone.

Schwarttzy that's awesome! Those two guys were my camp-mates Ray and Eli and they actually biked all the way from Boston. Awesome to hear you ran into them on the Jungo.

Last year my brother and I went to Burning Man and had some time to kill and figured that we should take Jungo Road. Being an avid enthusiast of driving off-road, and having driven the road now, I thought the short cut was well worth it. I drove the road relative fast with no problems, and saved fou...
