Interlude
Before the Burning Man preparations begin, we take an interlude to enjoy just being home together.

Burning Man Preparations
Since
Burning Man is in Nevada's Black Rock Desert with basically no services (other than water, ice, and coffe to purchase), all provisions have to be brought in and garbage hauled out by the individual festival goers.
Peter starts off by hooking up the new solar panel into Splinter's electrical system.

 |
| Ahhh YES - it's working! |
|
Splinter is now ready for "boondocking," i.e. extended camping without any electrical hookups. Next - time to collect and organize provisions for the week long trip. This festival takes more prep and forethought as there won't be a camp store anywhere close for a beer run.
 |
| Costco sized provisions |
|
 |
| Coolers & chairs to load |
|
 |
Love you Sweets!
Drive carefully - come home safely |
|
The puppies and I stay home and hold down the fort. Nope - Marti does
not do Burning Man... with asthma and blowing playa dust it would be a trip to the hospital.
 |
| Mary is happy to sit this trip out at home. |
