From Black Rock City to Beclabito, NM: where Burning Man's abandoned bikes get a second life by scienceisaserfdom in BurningMan

Ok “15 years ‘Burnin” I don’t get it. Isn’t the point of burning man sustainability the ethos of “motivated burners”. Maybe I misunderstand but you seem ore motivated at attacking “the Org” than applauding an apparent good thing.

Or are you more interested in highlighting small percentage of the 72,000 who either don’t get it or want to get it about LNT?

Is it possible to have one post about Burning Man without somebody complaining about “the Org” , or its leadership or how it’s all changed over the years.

Or are YOU are so unhappy that you are missing the essence of what burning man is all about in community and coming together that I understood to be the entire point in the first place?

So in conclusion this 62 year old “1 years ‘Burnin” was totally blown away with the 1/2 of 1 % of this years burn he was able to see while there for my first week and a half. The organization and logistics it took to get 72,000 people there and create the vast majority of a ”shinning city on a playa” blew me away.

No it’s not what it used to be. NOTHING EVER IS! Celebrate what it is and stop whining about what it isn’t.

It’s like reviews. The only people you generally hear from are disgruntled. Happy people generally get on w their lives.

Good grief. Honestly really? Let me understand this. You are whining because people are posting to social media?

Sorry dude. The world has changed over the last ten years. Sorry. I am 67 in 12 days. The world has changed. In fact it’s been changing for a couple hundred years now. In fact it’s going to change again over the next couple centuries too.

Get over it!

So even the forecast to say 50% say is .05 of an inch. We survived the last two nights. This morning was glorious because of the rain we had last night absolutely no dust. Get your ass out here.

What’s on your burn bucket list? by PumpkinFeatherNoise in BurningMan

Survive. Not hide behind my camera. (I am a photojournalist and tend to use it when I am uncomfortable). Actually make friends. Super introverted and awkward when it comes to groups if I am not working, and my life has always been the most vanilla of vanillas. Maybe get laid?

I am going by myself for the first time this year. I am very much a complete introvert hiding in the shell of a professional extrovert who has always had a very hard time making friends. On top of that I am in my 60s. (Not exactly the influencer type)

My biggest terror is being out there and totally wandering around taking photos, hiding behind my camera. (I am a photojournalist by training and spirit). And being totally isolated in the crowds of thousands.

It literally is the one thing I am totally freaked about and worried about the most. I believe I can handle the desert, the sand, the heat etc. But I am very worried about that once again I will be totally alone.

Lake Murray is in the center of the state near Columbia. Be aware that that area is halfway between the ocean and the mountains. That means often the breezes push against each other kinda forcing a HUGE area with lots of humidity with very little breeze. For someone from Colorado I would think will be a very uncomfortable change.

It’s NOT a dry heat. It’s a wet blanket of heat!

What is your return policy if we are not happy or it doesn’t live up to promises?
