Any way to get a Ride to Black Rock from Reno?

Post by Colinface » Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:35 pm

Hello!

My name is Colin from Chicago, IL and I have a favor to ask the BM community. It's my first burn this year and I wanted to know if I can find a ride to and from the playa. I will be arriving in Reno airport at 12:15 pm on Sunday, Aug. 28th, about 12 hours before the gate opens. I want to know if anyone has room in their cars/vans/trucks for me and two medium size bags. I also want to know if it's possible to go shopping and get my weeks worth of water and some food that I need to cook for one meal for my camp, and if there will be room in the vehicle for those as well. I am also planning on leaving on Monday during the exodus, and if I can get a ride to the airport in Reno that would be great.

I'm working on better ways to store my water without the use of 16 1 gallon jugs, and advice on that is welcome and greatly appreciated. I will help pay for anything necessary, gas especially, for helping me and my stuff get out there. I am also looking for a ride back to Reno somewhere near the airport sometime on Monday during the Exodus home. If anyone can help that would be super dooper appreciated! Thanks very much, PEACE LOVE AND FIRE TO YOU ALL! :D

There will also be a rideshare desk at the Reno airport, first floor near the baggage carousel. They're experienced volunteers doing it on the fly, so it's not a science, but it's apparently pretty great.

So, scheduling a rideshare is always best when you can, but don't panic if the online version doesn't work . . . just have a little gas money and a shopping list. Plenty of arrivals in Reno need to shop before they head out, just like you.

Another idea in addition to the rideshare desk:
You can get a taxi to places where Burners stock up on supplies (like the Save Mart on Keystone). You can buy water there as well, in the 2.5 gal x2 boxes. Better than 1 gal. jugs :-)
