flying into Burning Man

My wife and I are flying into BM in our private plane but want more comfortable accomodations than we can fit in the plane. Is there a forum where we could post an offer of plane rides over the playa in exchange for comfortable digs? We've spent a lot of time on the playa on our own so we know the conditions. It's just that we aren't so young anymore so comfort is more important than it used to be. Yeah, geezerhood looms, but with some luck, you'll get there too. We're plenty tough( 30 years commercial fishing in Alaska) but hey, what's the point. Any tips on making contact withsomeone with extra room appreciated.

The "share resources" forum would be the perfect place for your offer:

I'm sure there's quite a few people who would be willing to haul stuff in exchange for plane rides.

Good luck!

You might be able to connect with other flyers at: airport.burningman.com.

Over 100 aircraft come to Burning Man. Most of the folks have ground crews that bring the heavy camping stuff in. They have a huge camp near the Black Rock City Spaceport. A better group I have yet to meet (being a former military pilot myself), except for everyone else at the Burn.
