A big part of Burning Man is the journey there: your car or van or bus or RV or canoe is packed to the proverbial gills with crap you've been assembling all year with careful and absurd forethought, and you have to lug everything over mountain passes and through deserts, hopefully with a caravan so you can yuck it up over the CB. This year we were planning to caravan with the Cyberbuss, but we finished packing Van Glorious at 4:30am Saturday night and said screw it, lets get on the damn road. When we finished packing there wasn't a square foot left anywhere in the van, save for two people to sit and one of them to shift gears. That's why it was especially irritating when my damn carbon monoxide detector starting screaming just before Donner Pass and wouldn't shut up, and of course it was buried in the hardest spot to access in the whole van.

Yes the trip is half of it. We came from Dallas . On our way through Tucson, we got pulled over by the cops. They found two peyote buttons on our friend and took him to jail. We worked for 36 hrs. to get him out, spent all our money on bail, and still made it to the Man. Yes we were delayed a while, but we got there Thu. afternoon and savored every moment.

Freedom!!!! FREEDOM!!!!!
OH, SWEET, WONDERFUL FREEDOM

the playa is a wonderful thing-i'm back in NYC and miss pissing every 5 minutes already. Stop the world i want to get off. i miss you all and would like to thank John McCaffrey for his committment but could not come. peace out people

Same thing happened to us on the way _back_ from Burning Man -- a small musical bullhorn got stuck playing a strange sample over and over again - it was muffled enough that it sounded like some road noise, until we turned off the rental van and realized it was time to dig...

-------

Funny, my wife and I saw the Cyberbuss *on* Donner Pass. Shortly after I said to her, "Katherine, we should have them for dinner some time." - not the Cyberbuss but the Donner's of course.

 Van Glorious has had her share of troubles crossing Donner Pass, but she made it with hardly a burp this time. Dave E. Boy (née Diamond Dave) contemplates the view.
