Burning Man Festival Aug '12

This adventure is hard to explain, and perhaps attendance is necessary to really understand it. I was invited by an old friend, Harvey, who now lives in Reno. I joined his group of approximately fifteen friends and established our campsite on the Black Rock City desert playa. The playa is a very large dry lake bed, perhaps 50 miles long. It is very hot and dusty, but might be a perfect site for this craziness. Bottom line is anytime you put 60,000 hippies in a desert, tell them to build wooden art structures for burning later, and instructions to party 24/7 for an entire week .... Wow! Hold on to your hat.
