Getting items to Playa with no Vehicle Pass

Post by marvelousmaryanna » Thu Jun 11, 2015 1:36 pm

It will be my third year going to the Burn, I am so excited. However, I didnt get a vehicle pass and had a few questions reguarding getting all my stuff (and my virgin friends) to the playa. I have used ride share before and its awesome, but will people actually take 2 girls, their bags and bikes on ride share? Our friend is bringing our water for us, (thank you Noelle!!) so that saves us some space and we are trying to pack light, but that can be hard. We are traveling from Sacramento and we keep debating if we should take the burner express bus or try and get a ride share. Any advice from othes who went last year without a vehicle pass? Thank you for your advice!!! :lol:

Yes they will, but you have to actively search out such persons...don't just sit back and wait for a knock on your door...doing what Token says is a good start, scroll thru the Rideshare board daily.
Don't bore your friends with all your troubles. Tell your enemies instead, for they will delight in hearing about them.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me
