The wife and I went on the Susan Komen race/walk for the cure. Benefits breast cancer research. Second time I attended and she has been going for years. She was so happy to see this picture. She is down about 40 pounds since last year. So proud of her. Love you like crazy Big Red !!!
Lots of booze but less drugs from what I know of Burning Man. We're a responsible crew. No riding after we start drinking, or drinking while riding.
Believe it,Burning Man has plenty of rules now, not the free for all of old. Drug use has been curbed a whole lot, still happens but mostly undercover now due to the high presence of State Troopers and undercover narcs circulating about, hundreds get charged for drug posession each year. Still plenty of booze consumed but I have yet to see a full blown drunk person there, heat of the day will sweat the alcohol right out of ya.

Nice brake mechanism there. I bet it gets hot using it though.

I think we could dedicate an AS redundant thread just to Burning Man. The ultimate in ephemeral Americana. Never been there, no interest in going. Used to see a lot of people heading there from Eugene when I lived in Southern Oregon.
There is an annual Burning Man Portland event now called SOAK. The black light painted boob women are the most interesting part of that event for me...

Rode on that one 14 times mostly early afternoon, its there most every year. Our camp has its own mutant vehicle called Fishtank. Boobs are one of the reasons most red blooded males go to BM....LOL

Lol, just denubing a 40' log 4' off the ground is tiring with a 372. Will use a 346 today if I don't get fired for being too slow. Lol
Fish Tank was part of our 2012 camp at BM, we put it together on site,
My favorite mutant vehicle at BM,

Burning man, duuuuude! Nice photos. I was not aware that you were that 'close' to the BM fishing boat.
My brother and I stopped at Cougar Hot Springs in central Oregon one summer a few years ago, off-roading our way north through the Cascade range. A long haired hippy type came up to us and asked, "You got any empty cans, man?" My brother said he could have all we had in the cooler, which was about an empty case of beer cans. His buddy came over to see what was happening, and got mad. "Cans? We don't need any cans, man! We need money man, not cans!" The first guy replied, "Well, we can get money for cans man, and no one will just give us money to get to Burning Man, man!" The second guy replied, 'We need money for gas man, not cans!" That was when gas was all of $1.80 a gallon. I dunno if they made it to Burning man or not. The first guy took our cans and thanked us, and they debated the aspects of cans and getting to burning man walking back to their van. Obviously they were out of Eugene. Cougar Hot Springs was interesting. There are a series of cascading hot spring pools there, about a dozen in all. Half of them were filled, many with groups of naked young women for our viewing pleasure. At the top was a guy alone in the hottest pool dressed in green Army underwear. He also had green and black cammo makeup on. He was obviously tripping on something. He looked like he was out of the later half of the movie, Apocalypse Now!"
