Uraling to Burning Man

The Burning Man site, that is!

This morning I drove Scarlett, my 2014 Ural Patrol, to the site of the Burning Man Project.

The event is held on the Playa of the Black Rock Desert, where I'm presently boondocking.  Turns out, I'm camping just shy of 4 miles to the east of the site!

Obviously, the huge crowds that are drawn for this event later in the summer, would be a non-starter for me.  However, visiting the site to see what it looks like vs what it looks like when "Black Rock City" comes to life is quite acceptable.

The "city" actually showed up on Google Maps' Satellite View and I used it to steer Scarlett to the center of the city.  I wouldn't have found it otherwise, as presently there's no evidence of it having been there!  Kudos to the cleanup crews used by Burning Man organizers!

Lori and Chris Z. stopped by to drop off stuff and I fed them lunch before they continued on their way towards Crater Lake in Oregon.

I'll rejoin them again somewhere near Spokane, WA by the end of this month.
