A mental and physical vacation?
Time to take a break from reality.

I just wanta' forget it all.

Anybody want to come out this way (near Reno, NV)next September and do a Trail Talk camp out at Burning Man?

We can test drive our new gear and wander around in the desert for a couple of days.

Who can we get to drive the beer truck?

Do we get to wander around the desert half-crocked, naked, and staring wide-eyed at what everyone else is up to? I'm in but there's no way I'm burning my campsite and gear up when it's all over!

Thanks mel, you always know exactly what to say.

Why should I fear terrorists? I want to kill myself.

Half crocked, naked, finger painted...

Sounds good to me.

We don't have to burn the gear, we can take it home with us or eat it.

Sgt?

Is there such a thing as hangover triage?

I'm thinking that nifty little index card holder that everyone comes equipped with.

I can't believe they charge admission! I thought they moved out to the desert to get away from all that crap.

We'll just have to hold our own TT Burning Man. Any volunteers?

Don't forget your credit card for the food vendors. Although I'm pretty sure that's gonna make sitting down a bit tricky...

For this one, I'm willing to sell my first born male child.

Assuming menopause is retractable.

Uh...

That does describe other anatomic features as well.

As I remember my parents cure for a hangover was a bloody mary, although I've never tried it myself. I from the grapefruit juicy fruit crowd myself.

Get naked, get drunk, dane around a fire. Why the hell not...

You need a desert to do that?

Since when?


I know landing gear is retractable --- unless it's 'fixed'.

The benifit to a desert is you don't have to worry about getting rained out much

However windburn is a definite concern.

Landing gear?

Oh, what fun it is to ride!

For $200, there had better be a lot of naked people! Maybe we could open a finger painting booth to recoup some of the costs.

Don't mind me, Mel, I'm just playing with words.

Hmmm... sometimes public figures will retract a statement, or a publication might print a retraction...

I *have* run into more than a few folks over the years who should've had their puberty revoked.

Speaking of which, how many lap dances can you get for $200 these days?

I have friends that used my apt. as a ju,mping off and return location for BM this year. I can tell you, it's sounds like a blast. but everything, and I mean, everything was covered in white chalk dust. People wore goggles and respirators/dust masks out there b/c they have in some alkaline flats. Nighttime sure looked like a hoot tho. And even Dr. MegaVolt with his 15 ft. tesla coil was there.

I used to basecamp in the Black Rock and Smoke Creek deserts and hike in the surrounding mountains. The burningman idiots ruined a great place.

Those alkaline sinks are so flat you can see the curvature of the earth. Of course, after enough beer everything is sort of curved and warped.
