Hi friends, I need a ride from BRC to Reno Airport by 6pm Thursday of the burn (to catch a flight for a wedding

). Any suggestions on how best to find a ride? I imagine some (not many) people will also leave the playa that day (full of tears).
Right now I am thinking my best bet is to walk to gate area and try to hitch a ride by noon.
Note, there is no Burner Express bus Thurs and the flight is $400+, eek.

That is your best bet, shouldn't take too long to get a ride, unless you have a pile of things with you.

Most everyone is afraid to commit to a ride for someone out of BRC. You know all the reasons. As you said, the best shot of a ride it to hold up a sign at the exit line. People are all still happy and euphoric and don't turn into default world assholes until they hit the pavement.
Good luck with your ride.

It's easy to get a ride to Reno. Hold up a sign. "Reno Airport". Pick a wide spot in the road where people can easily pull over. Maybe on the outer ring road. I don't know how many lanes head out on Thursday. Before you pass Greeters might be your best bet.
