basically they layout a circular grid and you just pull up and pick out a space. build your shelter there, whether it's a tent or a structure or whatever. they provide porta potties and a center camp where you can buy coffe but that's it. everything else, water, etc is up to you.
and yeah, it's mad hot out there, but there's zero humidity. you find ways to fight the heat and dust, and a lot of people say that the fact that it's such a harsh environment draws people together because they're all fighting the same thing. even with that, you'd be hard pressed to find any frowns out there
- but what happens if there's a *generic* protest in a city nearby? Does the bongo guy and all the dreadnots flee or stay?josimar
- ...stay. You know, if a local city is eg up in arms about a motorway being built through a sacred/ecological area, the swampy's are gonna leave bm right?josimar
- ... swampy's are gonna leave bm right? And where does that leave you? With a soace near the inner circle I suppose. Enjoy.josimar

plus, as i'm now realizing, getting ready to go, getting creative and figuring out the best ways to create an enjoyable camp experience is also a huge part of the process. loving it! :)

@josimar:
as far as i can tell you're suggesting i worry about a scenario in which the nearest town (gerlach-empire, pop. 499) is going to suddenly become so upset (during the one week of the year burning man exists) about a hypothetical, non-existent road being made through it that we'll know about it in the desert and become so cross that everyone but me will go home, leaving me alone at center camp.
is that really what you're saying? 'cause that's kind of crazy.
- if for some reason BM lost the rights to that land we'd just find another spot.scarabin
- actually this made up story makes me want josimar to come as well and provide some details hypthetical scenarios while i'm frying.capn_ron
