As we go through the annual ritual of preparing our home to drive into the dusty playa, my mind is buzzing with thoughts of anticipation and trepidation. This will be my 3rd Burning Man, and Chris’s 9th. Each time I have been to Burning Man, it has been a true temporary location to park my […]

Preparing for Burning Man
Yesterday we repositioned to Sacramento, where we keep our Burning Man specific gear in a storage unit. Last night, we swapped out most of our reality camp clothing for playa wear. With limited closet space, we can’t carry both around. Over the next few days, we need to: Procure bikes, as we left ours down […]

Hello from the Playa
