We really weren’t sure that everything would fit, but it did. We got rolling around 5:30 pm. The drive to Reno was truly wonderful — excellent conversation, playing a round of the Radical Acts game (pretty neat actually) and seeing LOTS of Burners also making the journey. Our hosts here in Reno stayed up to greet us and make us feel right at home. Tomorrow church in Reno, one more short shopping trip and then we depart for Black Rock City, shooting to arrive at sunrise.

Yesterday we setup our 30′ Playa Dome for the first time. \u00a0We selected the Berkeley Marina again, since it’s a nice windy place, and we wanted to see what that would be like. \u00a0It took 4 of us (Grant, Julian, Drea, and Gabriel) about an hour and a half to get it fully assembled. \u00a0We broke 4 of the supports (they supply extras thankfully) and we’ll replenish those before we take the dome to Burning Man. \u00a0One key learning was to use the outer connector pieces for the circular support level instead of inner — the circumference was too tight to get the final piece in. \u00a0We’ll be at Burning Man in 1 week!!!
