Hi All you Burners!

Where have I been?

Decompressing

Left the Burn on Wed's and am spending 3 wonderful week's boondocking on the beach by Pyramid Lake, just 30 miles from Sparks/Reno. No cell or Internet service here, so I am posting this while on a supply run into Sparks.

As a first time rally host, I just wanted to thank everyone who attended for making it such a great laid back fun time! We had a nice mix of ages and personalities. The pot lucks were terrific.

Summer and Mark besides being gracious hosts and party animals, also made a great official Rally sign for the camp, Thanks you two!

Of course I had a ton of help.

A big thanks to KonaBoy AKA Mark and NeavadaGeo, AKA Perry who not only arrived early to stake out our great placement on the Playa, but also volunteered their time to the Burning Man organization. Also a wink and a nod to our behind the scenes friends who also assisted with logistics and Martini's

I would also like to thank Gene, aka AirHog1 over at Airstream of Arkansas, and Airstream Inc, both of which generously donated goodies for the gift bags I handed out to every rally goer.

In case you were wondering, Airstream Inc. kicked in with key farbs and Caps and Airstream of Arkansas sent me over a ton of beer cozies and Tee Shirts a big thanks to both. All that other junk in the bottom of the bag was stuff I dug up myself.

As for me, I was to busy burning and disappearing to take many pictures myself, so I do look forward to all of your photos and particularly Marks official Group foto! I would love a hard copy of that one Mark.

Thank you all sooo much for a super great time, I hope everyone had as good a time as I did!

Let's do it again next year.

Who knows, maybe even a themed camp?

I leave you with a before and after foto.

Wow you guys know how to do Burning Man. Thanks to Art, Perry, Mark & every one for contributing. We are planning to do it again next year & even add a day.

What is required to do a theme camp?

Next year I will test my shade structure before I come.

Mondo Umongus Dissapearo, A Big Thanks for the effort organizing (Is Mark my new playa name?) and to MarkParker for staking out the piece of playa and defending it the first night.

Dude,,,, Richard, You were to eat the peach, not run over it!! I thought you would find them when you pulled out the tarp. Your stroking me,,right??

[richard77]

Ahh, got ya, huh? I found the peaches, pre moving, and thought Bin Bin was somewhere. Only later, did I discover the note on the bottom ! Funny!
btw, The hitchhiker is still at Black Rock City!!

No, you're not Mark, you're Curry Man! and Summer is, well, Summer!

Great time with you two!!

By the way Eric, The print you wanted has been sent to me in California from Florida for signing.

Here is one of the elevated photos of our camp. I will put more in my album on this site after Claudia is finished with them. She is making a coffee table book from the pictures we took.

Looks like a picture of Iraq, only with RVs.

[ArtStream]

Super shot!

You climbed the tower on the corner?

Corky, great view and I love Claudia's "burningman" stance in the pic-very cute.
Personally I could have gone for another week at Burning Man. It was a sad moment when Eric dismantled the palm tree. I think Michael had the right idea by spending time aftewards at Pyrmid Lake. We are enjoying everyones pics as they trickle out. Ours are in the works.
Richard-nice work on the web site! I can't believe how fast you pulled it together. You have a great eye with the camera and did such a nice job of getting pictures of our entire group.
It is amazing what all has been posted on youtube already-Opulent Temple- Oh Yeah the memories! Summer

[markparker22]

(Finally..)
Here is the illustrious group of Burners that made the first annual rally a memorable one. Thanks again to Michael for his organizational help. Zep, hope we see you next year!

[Rick T]

Hey, damn good looking crew. Thanks to all for the fun, food, friendship, etc. And special thankz to Mr. Michael for organizing. Also special thanks to everyone for all the great pix. Thanks for all who posted the corners and held our ground and anyone else who didn't get thanked, thanks for whatever you did whenever you did it because we had a dynamite time.

[BamCamper]

Ooooops.
A few of us got stuck out at the Temple and missed the photo op.
(Eric may photo shop us in later...or not)
But we still love you all and had a great time at our camp.
Cheers!

Nice job photoshopping in the 3 musketeers, but you forgot Paul. You remember, our kazoo blowing, guitar strumming, drum beating happy heathen. Or maybe you just couldn't figure out which was his best side.
You're not the only one.
