This afternoon a thought leaped into my head. We should get the CDC to test the effects of playa dust on this nasty stuff. I'll bet the dust wins. There is lots of hugging in BRC, but everything and almost everyone is coated in playa dust. Playa dust with daytime temperatures at 100 degrees F. Hmmm....

I'm also in NC. Not impressed with any regional action here. I have attended four years. Will try to attend this year. I fly to Reno, and take the Burner Express to BRC. I do take all my stuff, but rent a bike in advance, to be picked up on site. Hey, call me or something. Local knowledge is always ...

I was a solo virgin this year. I camped in HOVerlandia, which is the camp reserved for Burner Express riders. I loved it. I obsessed with my pack lists, and weighed everything.

My flight was leaving around 4-6pm so I had plenty of time to freshen up in the bathroom before boarding...

I'm interested in the meet-up. I am a solo virgin, flying and riding the Burner Express. Arriving some time Tuesday afternoon. I plan to camp in Hoverlandia at 6:30 and Illusion. I am also struggling with space and weight restrictions on airplanes and the bus. I left my cool camp shower at home. It'...
