LDH:
It was a total blast! I camped at the VW Bus Camp for a second year (drove over 700 miles in my 67 split window). Great people. The Burn this year was just awesome....Art work, Art cars, theme camps, dance clubs...it was all good. Where else can you view Stone Hedge made out of Twinkies!!!
LDH, When you are ready to go, e-mail me, I have some good suggestions for a camp to stay at for your first time...you make good friends fast for a more enjoyable stay.
Black Rock City is lighted by lamps that are placed on the street corners by the "Lamp Lighters." Some friends were stying at the Lamp Lighters camp, so one night I volunteered to "carry." That is, a long pole is placed behind your neck with about 12 lamps hanging from each side. We were given white robes and a head covering to wear while lighting the City (wow, I felt like I was in a bible drama!). After the lighting at dusk, we went back to the Lamp Lighter Camp for a great meal and open Bar. Sweet!
One night, I hooked up with some x-jws and sang "Move Ahead" as loud as we could while partying down the street! hehe!
