POST ALTERNATE LOCATIONS FOR BM 2013

Cargo Cult - Who is John Frum? He is known to us by many names, this Visitor from Elsewhere, dispenser of endless abundance and wielder of mysterious technologies: John Frum, Quetzalcoatl, Osiris, "Bob." His cargo is splendid, his generosity boundless, his motives beyond our understanding. But across the ages and around the world, the stories all agree: one day he will return, bearing great gifts. Our theme this year asks three related questions; who is John Frum, where is he really from, and where, on spaceship Earth, are we all going?

Yeah, it's part of a long-term permaculture project that BMP's been working on (as that web site alludes to).

I like Roark's idea. What's wrong with a little (okay, a lot of) DANGER???

And, it might increase the amount of attendees who are actually self reliant (well, sorta - ok, probably a few will be lost during each burn)

Talk to Sunbeam. :mrgreen: The legal release to access the property is 11 pages long and strongly suggests you will die a horrible, violent death. One of the guys from the King Ranch looked at it... and stole part of it to incorporate into theirs. Sorta funny, that.

One nice thing about the location: you wouldnt need to pay for security. The Border Patrol would do it for free since they're there anyway. And the tick inspectors are a jovial bunch who would fit right into the BM culture. And I'm sure we could work a deal with the drug runners to re-route for a couple of weeks. But there is this longhorn bull that isn't gonna budge... :mrgreen:

DAMMIT, I want to go back to Hawaii some time, with more time, money, and other resources for exploring! (I like my parents, but my Mom really can't get around any more, and my dad wants to pack too much into a day, so we end up not really having any time for actual exploring.) And also I want a better guidebook. Despite what the one we had said, we COULD have taken an all wheel drive vehicle to visit the green sand beach, and, therefore, have actually had time to go down to it and mess around in the surf (along with all the folks who didn't know you couldn't take an all wheel drive vehicle out there.)

High clearance AWD maybe, and surely not a regular car. Those ruts nearly ate our Jeep.
