By the way, the burly BLM cop with the brush cut and mustache running in Tristans' picture is officer Ted. He showed up at a rafting party we throw over Fourth of July, with four cars, two dogs, and up to ten officers. For a holiday weekend beer bash and river float, fewer than 80 people. They stayed all weekend, searching, harassing, ticketing folks for music, illegal gathering, etc, etc,. Aside from a couple of people who showed up early, no cites for drugs, but TEd kept right after it, telling me he knew we had narcotics. He ran his damn dog through my camp, a friends car, all over our little island, and nothing!
He was flown in from San Diego special for our little party in a small town in Idaho, based on his expertise in Burning Man related events. This party is not a burner event, although several of us are, obviously, burners.
The handbasket to hell is leaving. Hop in world!
