Hey...figured I would chime in here. I live in Va., so the round trip was 6,000 miles. About $1,700.00 in gas, as my Suburban gets about 17-18 per. Took a shade "cover", and stayed in the Sub., very comfy and cool. I drove alone, both ways. Wonderful trip, but was terribly sad/depressed for the 3 day drive home. I had plenty of good tunes, (Fatboy Slim), and put back on the 3 pounds I lost riding my bike on the playa by eating all the way home. Overall cost was somewhere near $3,500, should be less this year, as I have all my non-food supplies from last year. If it had cost $20,000, it would have still been worth it. I read eplaya very carefully before I went last year, and took many suggestions. I spent my first night on the way home in a small, inexpensive motel for a shower and bed. I am counting the days til I can return. I think trying to "guess" ones' mental state on the return trip would be near impossible, as there is no way I could have guessed MY state "after" would have been totally impossible. I am a changed person, and in ways I never expected. I am so grateful to all you fellow Burners for this gift.
