Virgin needs help!

Post by Irishmike » Wed Aug 29, 2007 4:43 pm

Hi all

I arrive on Thursday night to Reno on a flight from Ireland via LA. I have never been to the Burning man before and this whole trip was very last minute for me and I am a bit nervous/excited about it. Should i try to get to Black Rock City late thursday night (11pm) or stay in Reno and come in the morning. Is there a bus service to Gerlach from Reno and if so where do I get it from? Any help would be really appreciated.

Mike

No bus service. rent a car, or try to find out ahead of time if you can hook up with a ride.
If you do rent a car, don't tell them where you are going, and be aware that if they find out they it might violate the lease. And be sure that you get it washed and detailed after you get off the playa. ONe of the truckstops between wadsworth and sparks offers a burningman special wash with detailing for %30. Go through twice.

Holy shit I can't believe I'm reading a post like this on Wednesday mid-Burn.
Coming from Ireland without a clue?
I sincerely hope you make it there alright Mike.

i'd suggest going straight in thursday night... more space gets sucked up every day. and it's much easier to set up camp NOT in the blazing midday sun. as long as you have good lighting, anyway... good luck!!!
