This past weekend two members of our camp rambled up into the high desert of Nevada about 30 minutes further away from civilization than the playa off to burning mans dwp ranch. It was a wild and surreal space. It consisted of a 1 square mile track of land with in which there was a 3 acre compound filled with sleeping trailer, workshops, large sculptures, and some of the sweetest hippypunks you ever met. We worked hard saturday and sunday building projects to get dpw ready for setting up black rock city. They start working on the playa in july. One night made spaghetti dinner for about 40 people.
Cooking the spaghetti was fairly easy. We fired up the burner at chow time and waited 30 minutes for 1.5 gallons of water to boil and then tossed in 4 packages of spaghetti. It took about 15 minutes for the whole wheat pasta to cook up. We pulled the pasta out of the pot with a pair of tongs and threw it into a serving dish and placed a bowl of sauce next to it. It was a big hit with the dpw crew. There was about .75 gallons of gray water left in the pot at the end. It looks like we didn't use very much propane in the exercise.
Looks like we are on a good path.
On the way out of town we swung by the playa. It rained while we were there. There is standing water in some places. The playa looks like it will be super hard this year! YAY!
THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!!
