I remember my 2nd burning man, in 2006. Had around 40k attendees. I had friends in the cleanup crew. Part of her job was to drag large magnets donated by Stanford across the floor if the dessert to pick up screws, nails, metal left by the chambers. After cleanup, they then announced to the crews that people abandoned 13k sofas on the playa back then!!! cant even imagine the 10s of thousands of sofas along with the same amount if new bicycles left strewn across Northern Nevada now in 2018, after just 1 week of use. (Let's not mention individual carbon emission that is blown through the roof!) now the rich hippies pissed at the drug searches/busts going on along on the single highway entering the dessert. I wonder when the Government will deny them permission to hold it based on yearly environmental catastrophe that's been created...

- They have purchase some land. I can't remember where. The BLM may not have to worry about BLM anymore soon.capn_ron
- found it. it's called Fly Ranch in north eastern nevada. looks like pretty cool land.capn_ron
- Interesting didnt know about this! sounds lush and majestic! But let burners in there with discos, yoga bars and sex tents it will be a dessert in no time.robotron3k
- Don't get me wrong Burning Man is still badass, but everything goes through a lifecycle. The real question is, how fun is Bman when you're sober???robotron3k
- I have talked with lots of sober goers. They say it is more fun because you have more "real" interactions not clouded by drugs.capn_ron
- fly ranch isnt much land... a site for fly geyser which you'd have to smooze someone at gerlach hotel and pay some money to get out and shoot********
- now they're offering tours device free and some camera options... strikes me as business diversification********
