When I first read that the theme for the 2006 Burning Man Festival was “Hope and Fear: The Future.” I was disappointed. If ever there was a fitting time for me to attend it would be now but I had no prospects for going. Time and money were doable but the logistics of trekking to the other side of the country and camping in a roasting, alkaline desert seemed a bit daunting.
But now, thanks to a referral from Kurt, it seems I’m going. He pointed me to a group driving a pair of RVs to the event and they had one space left. Will had already booked another vacation with one of our friends and the band needs a break badly so the stars have aligned and I’m heading to a destination I’ve dreamed of visiting for years.
We leave in two weeks and damn I’ve got a lot to get ready…
