72 Hours ago, we had never heard of the island of St. John. And now.. it’ll be our home for 5 months this winter. We’ve both been craving some major change. Our full time RVing around the US has become a bit.. routine. Hard to imagine that constant mobility can start to seem stationary, but […]
An Epic Camp Nomadia 2010
I’m still buzzing off the energy of Burning Man, and particularly our theme camp, Camp Nomadia. When we first had the vision for hosting the camp in 2008, we imagined a community of full time travelers all converging in one spot to share community, but not infrastructure. After all, us full time travelers are used […]
Travelogue: St. Louis, MO to Black Rock City, NV
Time Frame: August 2 – 28, 2010 Miles Driven: 2825 After a way too brief of a stop in St. Louis, it was time to continue west towards Burning Man. It seems every year we find ourselves in this predicament – way too little time to traverse some of the most beautiful scenery our country […]
Burning Man Pictorial – Day 8
The last official day of Burning Man. At 3pm, if you’re in Center Camp – you’re told Burning Man is officially closed and to go home, or start helping with clean up efforts. The city is clearing out – there is more open space around you, and you can see the banks of porta-potties across […]
Burning Man Pictorial – Day 7
Sunday. The day of the Temple Burn. For many folks, they come to Burning Man to see The Man burn, which happens Saturday night. It’s the big focal event of the week. The iconic structure that has been our beacon for the week is burned in a huge celebration of fireworks, dancing, art cars and […]
Burning Man Pictorial – Day 6
There’s only one photo that needs to be shared on burn day.. It was an extremely windy and dusty evening, this photo pretty much sums up of the quick flash burn nature of last night. Post burn, many of our campmates returned to Camp Nomadia, and we had a spontaneous dance party to celebrate together.
Burning Man Pictorial – Day 5
Friday was another awesome day of our Camp Nomadia community coming together. Having a camp with a central hang out area, creates an environment where people can connect and feel they have some place to come home to. Burning Man is full of exciting, awesome and overwhelming things to see, do and experience. And sometimes, […]
Burning Man Pictorial – Day 4
Wow? It’s already Thursday? Where does the time go. No matter what your intentions are for Burning Man – attending events, seeing art projects or meeting up with friends, it’s about this time of the week where it’s easy to feel the pressure of time slipping away. Today was our big day of hosting a […]
Burning Man Pictorial – Day 3
The official Day 3 of Burning Man for us started with an early wake-up to take part in the 4th Annual Black Rock City 5K run. Chris kicked butt and completed his first ever organized run! As I’m still struggling with being a morning person (particularly with running), I opted instead to do a photo […]
Burning Man Pictorial – Day 2
Today at Camp Nomadia was an epic adventure in community building. When we ‘UNorganized’ this camp (which is now at about 80 folks), we asked folks to bring parts to construct a central shade structure). Our camp came through in amazing ways.. we spent a couple hours together today bonding over constructing a shade structure […]
