Need advice. I got a DUI a couple months back (in Colorado), and now I'm on probation. I've told everyone--we all need a little reminder to be careful--so I know I'm not the only Burner to have been in this situation.

Now, the trouble is Burning Man this year. To leave the state, I need to get permission from Probation Officer. And I also need permission to not call the UA Testing line every day. Probation = sober = random testing not just for drugs but also for alcohol; I call every day and get tested once or twice a month. When I had a business trip to MD, I had to call everyday even though I couldn't go in for a test. Then tell my PO if I my number came up. With cell service being pretty tenuous, it's not enough to say I'm going on a trip out of state, I have to say I'll be off the grid.
I'm not great at lying, but the good news is we only communicate by email. I'm great at email. I do believe the best lies include some detail.
So, here's the question: Anyone ever need this kind of permission to go to Burning Man? What did you say about where you were going? Family reunion? Outward Bound?
