Tuesday, September 8, 2026 Second travel day! Not terribly exciting; no vehicle problems, no road problems. It was smooth sailing from Eugene to Issaquah. We left around 9 AM, and got home around 4 PM. We stopped in a couple of places, first for breakfast at a tiny residential coffee shop and pizza restaurant, then ... Read More

Monday, September 7, 2026 Time to head out. Leaving Burning Man is called Exodus, and it’s the reverse of arriving. Take any lane on the way out, all which gradually reduces down to a single lane intersecting the paved highway. The road meanders on the playa for 6 miles. In years past, we’ve had to ... Read More

Sunday, September 6, 2026 Time to pack up. The city was already emptying; Exodus had begun. The day was bright and sunny, not too hot, with barely any dust and wind. We spent the day packing up, putting the art car on the trailer, storing everything in its place, and getting ready to go. Later ... Read More

Saturday, September 5, 2026 We made it, the Man burns today! We slept in hard, and spent most of the day at camp. River went out in the late afternoon for a bit. A little after 7 PM we departed in the art car. For this burn, sort of like the Titanic burn yesterday, all ... Read More

Friday, September 4, 2026 Morning dawned mostly clear with some high puffy clouds, no dust, and a bit of wind. Oh yeah, and a lot of mud. Mud everywhere. It had rained a lot overnight, so the top several inches of the playa were water logged. When playa dust gets wet it turns into very ... Read More

Thursday, September 3, 2026 More hard-blowing dust during the day, gusting to 4 mph, and we could attest. The wind let up in the evening, finally, so we headed out to watch a rescheduled art burn. Many had been rescheduled from yesterday due to the high winds; the one we watched burn, a small one ... Read More

Wednesday, September 2, 2026 The day was windy and dusty, all day. The morning looked promising, with some blue sky and puffy clouds, but that did not last. We spent the day in camp, mostly. River went out for a bit.

Tuesday, September 1, 2026 Hunkered down during the day, cleaning stuff, charging stuff. Turned on the AC in the rig, which was nice. It was hot and dusty. Went out biking for a bit, checked out center camp. Later, drove the art car around the playa. After going into the deep playa and then trundling ... Read More

Monday, August 31, 2026 Not a lot of activity on this day. We slept in, and it felt great. The weather held; it was hot for Burning Man, but not terrible. The art car was misbehaving with its electrical, so we decided to keep it parked and do some scootering and then biking around the ... Read More

Sunday, August 30, 2026 We set up camp in the late morning / early afternoon. Camp involved putting up a tent shelter, with one side to block the morning sun, putting the propane tanks out into our fuel depot (10 feet away from anything, with some marker to keep people from running over them), and ...
