The new BRC map is out. (I'm guessing many of you have seen it.)
www.burningman.com/preparat.../07_maps/
If we were to be *about* the same place as 2006, we'd be at 4:05-ish and "Kelp Forest". I suggest coming in a couple of streets towards the Man, so maybe 4:05-ish and Intertidal. I expect there might be some adjustment as the first few of us show up; I liked being about a block from the bathrooms last year and would encourage us to do the same again.
Or we could let Caz mark us out a spot and try to find him this year.

Sounds good - we'll also need to figure out how much space we need... I'm thinking it's going to be bigger this year.

Re: Location location location
Mon, August 6, 2007 - 4:23 PMI think it'll be bigger too....
I too agree that last years spot ROCKED... the wind wasn't so dusty
So is Caz getting in early?
I know the main thing that worked reallyreally well last year is that we had the walkytalkies... on.... 10.2 and we could all find the place at center camp info -

Re: Location location location
Mon, August 6, 2007 - 4:34 PMI really loved last year's spot. It had a few really good things going for it and I'd really like to be in about the same spot. It was equal distance from two potties, one down 4:00 toward the esplanade and the other a single block over at 4:30. Since the only thing upwind of us was the outer road and walk in, there was very little dust in the wind. It also made Exodeus a little easier because we were already on the outer ring and didn't have to move through the city.
There are more roads this year, which means more dust. I think the farther we move in toward the center at 4:00 the more dust we will have to deal with as it gets kicked up by the roads and camps upwind of us. I'd really like to shoot for roughly the same spot this year if we could.
Another thread makes it look like Caz is not getting in early. I am planning on being there sometime between 8:00pm - 11:59pm on Saturday and would be happy to do this year's land grab again. -

Not early
Mon, August 6, 2007 - 5:12 PMIts true I will not be getting in early this year, but i do intend to arrive at midnight when the gates open
one added argument for moving closer would be more guests in camp, more people wandering by, and more participants in any activites -

Re: Not early
Tue, August 7, 2007 - 11:28 AMAre we registered this year? I'm assuming not.

Re: Not early
Tue, August 7, 2007 - 2:26 PMI made it exactly at midnight last year and they'd been letting everyone in for something like 32 hours already. This year I'm shooting for early, maybe even before sundown on Sunday.

Re: Location location location
Tue, August 7, 2007 - 1:51 PMI agree, it was nice to have potties one block away for general use and ones on the path towards the esplanade for excursions.
The rumor on the streets about potties will this year from bm.tribe.net/thread/afa1...42613eb02dea
is that every street will have banks of potties between D & E AND I &J, but that seems excessive. Someone who had been at the info camp volunteer meeting had different information, and I'm waiting for a reply from him about the potty location.
Let's try to do like last year, one block for potties during the day, and potties on the way to and from the center. -

Re: Location location location
Tue, August 7, 2007 - 3:51 PMLast year's site worked well!
I'd be for shooting for the approximate same area. -

Re: Location location location
Sat, August 11, 2007 - 12:28 PMmee too... same area

Re: Location location location
Tue, August 14, 2007 - 6:08 PMOkay, so my other source confirmed that ALL radial streets will have potties at I&J and ALL except 4:30 and 7:30 will have potties at D&E.
So it seems like if we camp at 4:10 and K, we'll be a radial block from the potties at I and we'll have potties on the way into the center at 4:00 and D/E.
Any thoughts? -

Re: Location location location
Tue, August 14, 2007 - 6:18 PMAt 4:10 and K we'll be a very short trip from the potties but just far enough not to hear the doors banging, sounds good to me.

Re: Location location location
Wed, August 15, 2007 - 1:14 AMLast year, someone brought yellow plastic tape to mark off the camp site until enough people arrived to help save the space.
Do we need to get of it, or do we still have some from last year? -
-
Re: Location location location
Thu, August 16, 2007 - 6:42 AMwe still have some.... but other burners didn't like it.... I'm just going to put up ropes....
really just who ever mapps out our spot can use anything at first... as long as they have something -
-
Re: Location location location
Thu, August 16, 2007 - 2:34 PMThe streets are much narrower this year. If we were to go as deep as we did last year we would take up the whole width of the block and have two different street front sides.

Re: Location location location
Thu, August 16, 2007 - 4:09 PMThe tape was handy. It was inexpensive and there was a lot of it.
it was also easily visible.
Hope there's enough rope to mark the area off. -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Location location location
Thu, August 16, 2007 - 4:10 PMThe issue wasn't with us putting it up, just with us leaving it up over the week I think. It'll be fine to use on the first night at least. -

Re: Location location location
Thu, August 16, 2007 - 5:50 PMI have a giant roll of yellow caution tape I can bring. -
-
Re: Location location location
Fri, August 17, 2007 - 11:10 AMsweet... me too... but I'm not yet sure of my arrival time yet......Sunday night... or Monday morning...
-
Re: Location location location
Sat, August 25, 2007 - 1:45 PMBring the caution tape, just in case. We'll probably need it to mark and maintin our site initially until more people arrive with their stuff.
Holding space is tough.
