Wed Jan 31 2024 Gerlach Meetup

[some seeing eye]

Gerlach is the host for the Gerlach regional burn. It's a small town, less than 200 people and a median income of about $50K. It's home to Friends of Black Rock High Rock which facilitates care for the surrounding public lands year around with feet on the ground. Some year-around residents are retired, and some residents work for the Burning Man Organization, housed in town and at the work ranch/Fly Geyser art project. There may even be a board member or two in town. Burners passing through burn week and burn months do their best to support the school, the fire department, and the few local businesses; Burning Man brought solar to the school. The community center and library just got high speed internet on fiber. The Burning Man Organization is supporting Gerlach residents on opposing drilling and industrialization of the town. When you visit, sit down and listen to the residents.

Wednesday 5PM at the Community Center that is exactly what the Burning Man CEO will do is listen, and update our Gerlach hosts on what is going on with the Org in Gerlach.

And hey, you can locate to Gerlach with your remote job now they have fiber, and with a family too! Let's hope the hot springs park comes back as a public pool like Iceland's Blue Lagoon!
