Cargo Room

I walked by this camper today and surely this has to have been customized for Burning Man. I’ve never seen so many cargo boxes on one vehicle before! I count 10 cargo boxes! there were a couple of bikes and a scooter on the back, sorry I didn’t get a pic. This thing could be loaded up with a massive amount of stuff, and has custom window shutters!

First one in line for Burning Man 2008!

I’ve officially started camping out in line to get into Burning Man 2008! Its July 14 and I am proud to say I am the first in line! I really thought I was going to not make it this year, but it turns out I made it! I was really worried about being 10th or later in line. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not gotten here now. Freaking out is probably what would have happened!

First in Line!
