Need help leaving no trace.

So here is my situation,

So I caught a ride to burning man with a lady i met in Santa Cruz the day we left. I had no intentions of camping with her. I did not have a ticket, so i hopped out in line with trust that i would find one. This year I am not ment to be on the playa as i was unable to secure a ticket. So now everything i own is on the playa, even my shoes.

Im currently camping out in reno, making art, juggling and trying to keep the burning man spirit alive here in reno. This experience has taught me that burning man is not just a physical location but a state of mind. Ive fully accepted that i will not be present for the duration of the festival, and im stoked on the experience im having here in reno.

My question is, how do i go about getting my stuff back. All i know is that the lady that drove my stuff in is camped at orange sherbert (between c-e and 8 or 830). Would it be possible to be let in early monday morning to try and find her and my gear.

If anyone has any advice on how to sort this out i would so love the help.

See you all on the playa next year.

(in getting my ticket early, one of many lessons learned)

Typically, you would not be allowed in.
Do you know when she's leaving?
Can you get someone going to BRC to take a message to her, or to post on the Playa Info board at Centre Camp? Hopefully she knows to look there. She may even have left a message there for you if she had to camp elsewhere from what she'd planned, or when you didn't show up to get your stuff.

As typical for BM, there are people intending to go just for the weekend (work schedule, etc.), and their plans can change - some tickets come available.

Fingers crossed.
