You can see my house too... at the intersection 7:30 and D, in Hushville, two white carports linked by camo netting. Our Trailblazer was missing, Ranger Borderline had to go into town to make a family emergency call, so it was Wednesday afternoon.

Before I saw this shot I had some idea the size, but this really changes the impression of it. Amazing scale...

Ah yes, back from when it wasn't too big (physically).

Although even then, it was obviously laid out by folks who knew THEY'd be able to get around it in golf carts and trucks.

Anyone have contacts at google earth? I think that havong one of the google earth street view rigs drive the entire city would kick ass.

Google makes it impossible to find out who, how, when, where.... Been looking for months. No luck

Wasn't Google one of the evil 'corporate sponsors' last year?
Check out google earth. It has a lot of detail for BRC.

burning man is of average length and girth.

he's been known to sport wood, and he knows how to use it. He also has the fire in his loins that make the girls, and guys, go wild.

why is always a size thing with you people?

Burning Man is NORMAL....he's not burning John Holmes..

That's amazing. I guess I really should bring a bike, but I don't have one right now so I'll have to save up.

capjbadger · Post by **capjbadger** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 2:08 pm

Actually you really don't want to bring a new bike out there. Get a used one and fix it up.

You should see the stuff truckers dump when they quit or change jobs. We just acquired a LOT of sleeping bags this past year. Find a dumpster at a trucking company terminal, you'll not be disappointed.

Great, now I am going to spend the night trying to find my car in that picture, since 2006 was the year I went!

And, yeah, don't bring a new bike-- the playa dust eats bike chains! Cleaning the bike after you get back should be high on your priority list.

P.S.: Well, I might have found my car and tent-- there's an oblong blob of the right color facing the correct direction in roughly where I was. There's also a blob in the right place for my tent. Weirdly there is a third blob which I have no idea what it would be in front of the two-- maybe I had my chair out at the time the picture was taken...? I need to get a bigger vehicle I guess-- a 70+ passenger school bus should show up better!
