Express Lane at Greeters Gate?

Post by stickysunset » Tue Jul 29, 2008 6:21 pm

any chance of an express lane at greeters station for those who want to skip the hour long wait while newbs (bless 'em) ring the bell and pose ad nauseum? i suggested this last sept.

(sorry if this has already been posted or discussed...i haven't been on for a while and found nothing in search.)

doubt they will have that... even though it would help with congestion.... I also think they would like to make sure no virgin gets left behind for the bell ringing so....

hmm.

that's a whole extra set of confusions and deceptions.

it'll never happen for similar reasons to why they'll never let those who go west (and skip gerlach and the traffic line) have an express exodus.

nice try though...kinda

:P

here's your solution!!
volunteer and get in early. no line at all!


i need to learn to spell

Sunset, the answer is simple: Show up with me on Saturday. No muss, no fuss, no waiting. Plus you could then help me set up the shower.

There is the unofficial express lane entering the Playa.

I had to use it once with a guide that had a radio to tell the rangers to back off. I was having severe mechanical failure on my rv and instead of having to push it through the line, i got permission via a friend at the gate and drove past everyone into the city with my friend in my rv.

It really saved my ass and saved everyone behind me hours of wait time. Imagine a person trying to push a 30' rv by himself up through the gates. LOL
