Leaving Aug 27 in the morning from Hermosa Beach in the South Bay (also near LAX if you're flying in) and driving to my parents' in Sacramento, where I'll buy fresh goods and take one last, long shower (but not too long; there is still a drought). Extra twin bed available in my brother's childhood room.
Then I will be leaving early (maybe 2 - 4 AM) Sunday, Aug 28, for Black Rock City, hopefully arriving early in the day.
It's a small Toyota RV, but I can take one more bike and some baggage and supplies.
I already have RV mates coming from the Bay Area later in the week, so no space left to stay in the RV
But the good news is they are pitching in for gas so the ride is free!
