Skoolie Couple stoked for 2022 Burning Man

[theroadnottaken_bus]

Hey Everyone! We're DJ and Rachel and will be new to Burning Man 2022. Super excited to check the festival out this year and meet all of you amazing people! We'll be coming with our converted Skoolie and want to lend a helping hand volunteering where needed as well as immersing ourselves within the burner community! Any other Skoolies, Vanlifers, Nomad travelers attending? Our IG if anyone is curious about our bus is @theroadnottaken_bus. Look forward to reading more into these forums and hit us up to chat if you have any tips or just want to say hi!

Nah. No-one would want to drive an old school bus to Burning Man.








And certainly never two of the silly things.





Well, all right then.
Her name is Millicent, and she's in there, somewhere, pretending to be a dozen tent poles.

Welcome to the circus, DJ & Rachel!
The dogs are not allowed, but the kids are welcome, and there is no charge for kids under 12.

DJ, you may want to use a different name for Burning Man purposes, because around here "DJ" usually means "disc jockey", and then the torches & pitchforks and tar & feathers come out.

Now, please go to the website and start reading studying the Survival Guide.
(Yes, there will be a test.)

Hi DJ and Rachel! I love that you two converted your bus—I have always been drawn to skoolies and one day will have one of my own! I’m going to BM 2022 for my first time as well with my good friend Lauren. I hope we get to run into you both there and good luck in getting in! PS I followed you on IG (I am peach_mabel)

Since this has now come up....
There is already a thread here about "skoolies" – decommissioned school buses converted to private camping purposes.
It is my understanding that the original post was well received.

The information is hardly complete, and may not be ageing well. And some of the photos may have been lost.
But, for your consideration, if you so choose, this link should take you to "School Bus 101":
