Looks like it rained in Reno pretty hard and on the playa today and Thursday? We are delaying our early entry since the weather station link seems to be down for playa conditions.

the challenge with the electric scooters is they will last about an hour on a charge or 12-15 miles and that is at an average of 160 lbs. Adding weight will decrease the range. I've been looking at modifying one with solar but after researching it the range isn't there.

Be careful not to use something that is too tightly woven as it will pack with playa. What looks great on the first day will not by the next day :( Last year we used landscape fabric which we wanted to look like stone...it did but we also had lights behind it and it looked great the first day and th...

Are you planning on plugging in to draw 30 amps? Your A/C system will draw that much to power one and if it has two you will need more. A typical 110 electrical cord is not going to work, you will have to use your shore hook up and buy an extension to that and find someone with a 30 amp or 50 amp ho...

What will you be driving? It depends if you are driving an RV whether I would give advice on driving through Phoenix. I've driven from Phoenix to the playa 6 times and flown 3 other times...I prefer flying :) Seriously the route from Phoenix up through Wickenburg, Kingman, Vegas is the easiest route...

Are you speaking of the Coleman CL3900? I believe they are 60 watt. They are battery chargers and have an inverter. They cost about $350 I think and are available at camping world I believe or Costco.
Typically we use then along with a serious of car batteries.

I heard the pillars were cut with a RotoZip.....and the conspiracy continues

I know someone who was out on the playa by the back of an art car that decided to spark one up with a few friends. 4 Rangers said they watched him from start to finish by taking it out of his backpack, spark it, pass it around the group, and they busted him. I saw the whole thing going down but didn...

For those of you who have leased a Globalstar Sat Phone be aware that they are not working very well at all out on the Playa. Globalstar lost a few of their satellites so the coverage and quality stinks. I sent one to my group the other day and they are trying to use it but calls are dropped very qu...

I have a few friends out there right now and they said the last 2 days have been great. Sunday it was tough. Every year it is the same story. "Dustiest Playa conditions ever" Last year rocked in my book! Expect the max and hope for the best, your still going to be on the playa and not in a office cu...

bwaaaaaaaahhaaahahaaaaa.

come on, that did not come from the org

are you camping with a group at all? Anywhere is fantastic but when you say entertainment are you speaking of being close to the late night dance domes? Your first year you should be on overload. Plan on putting a lot of miles in walking and on your bike.

They are looking for a Utili Kilt. I have one in black but it is smaller than the one your looking for. Keep in mind when measuring for the kilt the measurment should be made above the hips by the stomach waist line. He should have looked at another vendor who ships quick PM me if you want the compa...

I have an extra storage bladder that holds 45 gallons. It folds up and is made out of the same material that is used for waterbeds. Makes it easy if you have storage area underneath...you will just need a little water pump to make it transfer. Camping world has them

wow...just checked his avatar. Odd...pulled that one off of the net so I changed it.
Thanks for the heads up.

Does anyone know if besides the waste removal trucks that come around to drain the septic tank if there is also a truck that can replenish fresh (although probably not drinkable) water supply? Do not put non-potable water in to your holding tank! It's non-potable for a reason. Putting that stuff in...

Hopefully your camp mates will understand that you should shower by turn the shower water off while lathering and do a quick rinse. I strongly suggest paper plates to eliminate the water waste. I understand not wanting to waste paper products...your call. We average about 4 gallons a day if people a...

We will be at 9:30 and C/D Love to have you join us on the Playa Pop-arazzi!

If it rains I just sit down and chew gum...

Some of our crew just arrived at the Playa to help set-up and they are not getting any signal anywhere. The past 3 years I have sprung for a sat phone for the week and I've paid about 200-300 depending on the extra minutes but it has been worth it for our group. I won't post their link but it is a g...

you can purchase the style that has area sensors for about 40 bucks and it would be activated when someone came to close to the vehicle telling them to stay back. Disconnect the siren but you would have the chirp and additional effect of the surprise of the area sensors.

So if I have 2 cans and a string will I have better luck if one of those cans was refried beans? need a little technical help...

I love breasts, don't get me wrong, but on the playa I do not see them as sexual play toys at all. This will be my 8th year on the playa and I've seen all of my friends wives or girl friends wives breasts and I can tell you it is mostly in the mind of the bearer not the other person. To me they beco...

Don. I've used shrink boat wrap in years past to cover a dome. It worked very well but the heat gets trapped even with an A/C unit. The condensation builds. If we were to use it again we would use a breathable fabric because wrap needs to be anchored to the ground or it will be blown like mad.

is it just me or is this topic turning shitty?

Bwaaahahaahha!

Hi Ron, sent you a PM.
I'll be in for sharing the cost for 100 gallons. I can recruit some more help if needed.
Let me know

Burners arrived last year thinking they would be getting in early but they stick to the time. The line was long according to a few of my friends who got their early. We waited in Reno and drove out to arrive at the gate at 12:30-1AM. The wait wasn't that long...It was fun to feel the energy that eve...

Just trying to help and not support Shell Oil but I believe they have it there. Here is their number Shell - (775) 557-2272 - 565 Main St, Gerlach

I have a recurring dream that I went to burning man and everyone is wearing pants.

Last year I was given a pair of fake fur pants from a my friends wife. She made them for me and they were great! They were nicknamed "jealous pants" because my buddy was rather jealous she made them for me and not him. A few days later we were on the Playa driving in the art car late on Tuesday even...
