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.

      I 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

        I 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.

          Its 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

            I 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.

          I 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.

            Okay, 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?
