2016 Moop Map

[mudpuppy000]

I usually just use washers and lag through the metal loops in ratchet straps or carport legs, so there's no way you can possibly get what is secured off without removing the lag first. I guess that's the downside of using chain links and hooking something to them.

[AntiM]

We use the orange circles cut out of swamp cooler buckets, with a hole punched in the middle, as floor or rug
washers. Visible and very sturdy. Would work just as well with the lag screws. I don't have a picture, but will try to remember to take one.

[Jackass]

The same people that left all of their rebar still in the ground also left their piss jugs. I'm a big fan of the LNT theory, and I like to help out, but handling other people's fluids is above my pay grade. That's all their is to that. Is there an LNT advocate here that handles their neighbor's human waste as part of their LNT efforts?

[Elliot]

Two of my red cloths were right at the edge of the street, marking the "residential" / "fire lane" entrance. They were still easy to find after two weeks, and they were only six or eight inches square.

The material they are made of probably matters. We had two red velvet ropes at our main shop entrance, and they are still bright red when I look at them now. The spike-flags are also a velvet sort'a material, from a Christmas decoration.

[Jackass]

Yeah, but are you willing to scoop up your neighbor's turds or empty their piss bucket for them if they "happen" to forget it behind at their camp after they've left?...

I'm trying to find out if anyone here considers that to be part of the routine when addressing their LNT plan.

I know we've got some moop maniacs here...

[GreyCoyote]

My first thought was if the jug is intact and can be safely moved without fluids contact, sure. Anybody who has had kids has been exposed to far worse. But upon further reflection, I realized we are only doing our community a disservice by hiding their transgressions. If we leave it there, Resto will see it, map it, and that becomes part of the MOOP map. if its a placed camp then they will have some serious explaining to do next year when they are trying to get placement.

I'd leave it.

Yes, I would have. My neighbors are all part of the same camp I was. I would have told the camp supervisor about it as well.

[Jackass]

These neighbors of mine were not part of my camp, not even acquaintances. They were probably close to 100 yards from me, I have no clue who camped there.

P.S. I'd rather have freshly squeezed baby piss on me any day, over some dark orange piss that's been cooking in a jug for a week plus in the Nevada high desert sun. Even going to dump your own can easily turn your stomach, unless you're used to working with dead, rotting animals...

[Ratty]

Jackass I love you but....It's lunchtime here in Nor Cal so can we talk about cake? How about how everything is pumpkin flavored for a couple of months? No. I wouldn't like pumpkin in my coffee thank you. Or my beer.

There. Now my mind is clear.

nope, not touching it

[danibel]

Two years ago, maybe three, I don't know - they blend, some a holes left a 3 gallon pee jug in the middle of the block. It looked like they may have funneled shit into it too, it was black/brown, disgusting. I walked past it multiple times and the thought of taking it never entered my mind. Sorry. No way.

Can anyone tell me a way to zoom in on it? Hard time seeing my camp

[VultureChow]

It's not the giant map. So it's a bit fuzzy on the camp level. Right click on the picture and select open in new tab. Then you can zoom in a bit more. Or save it to your computer and use image editing software to zoom in.

[Elliot]

As I recall, they publish a big and detailed map when they are all done.

[Dr. Pyro]

It appears that Barbie Death Village is solid green!

[Elliot]

Would I seem elitist if I suggest that three dumpsters of big trash, and even a single piece of large living room furniture... constitute a pathetic failure to grasp a fundamental concept of the event?

That's a huge pile of cocaine in the "special MOOP" photo!

Though not perfect, you can right-click the map image and open it into a new tab and it should be larger, but not super awesome.

Thanks, that helped.

Let's not jump to conclusions. Perhaps they didn't realize that they forgot to pack the sofa on the way out and overlookedit while doing their moop sweep?

[Ratty]

I feel sorry for the last guy out. Sometimes it won't fit in the truck.

[maladroit]

I saw a last guy out, once. He refused help from us. Second-to-last guys split in their van which was loaded but not deadly. He ran after them yelling. Then shuffled back to camp. Took down a goodly sized dome (20? 30?) feet across. Strapped all of that on top of his compact sedan. Then strapped a couch on top of the metal rods. Then strapped a second couch on top of that first couch. I think the car was so full that the roof didn't collapse. I don't know how the car even moved, but it left. No idea how far it got. You have to admire that refusal to leave a couch on the playa.

[Elliot]

Admirable, indeed.
But ought to have been avoidable with better planning.

As our Last Guy Out, I take at least 20 photos of the pristine site.

I got chills remembering that hitch held on with a shred of tinfoil.

[gaminwench]

So lovely, Elliot, all of those bikes tucked neatly on top of Millicent.

[Elliot]

There were 60 bikes up there. My crew did an amazing job with it! And big thanks to the man with the long-reach fork-lift!
To transport and store bikes tightly, we remove the pedals and turn the handlebars sideways (lenghtways, actually ).

[silas thatcher]

the founders of pandora's fix it shop and lounge usually have a trusted person that stays until the last camp mate is gone, does a final moop sweep, and takes a picture of the camp....

one year, someone left a bike after every one left and they got dinged, so now they take pics.....

[bigbluedoggy]

I have a question regarding the map in general. I noticed that there are some areas amongst the placed camps that are marked with a big X thru the entire square. I looked back at the 2015 map and there are squares marked with X's there as well. Who can explain what they mean? Is it simply unreserved space left amidst the placed camps or is it camps that don't want their names on the map or what?

[BBadger]

They're BRC "black sites" where hippies go for intensive "interrogation."

Though really, where? I don't see them on the map. Are they on this MOOP map from 2015?

[Ratty]

My uneducated guess would be that the camp didn't show up. Or they showed up and found that location to be the pitts so they went elsewhere. Yes. People do that. Even though they won't get placed in the future. The following year they form a new camp with a new leader and start over.
