The Road to Burning Man



So I'm heading to Burning Man.

I left yesterday from Calgary at about six, hit the border about noon. We discovered that when three young guys say they're going to Burning Man to CBP, they search the car. So after two hours we got across the border. We stayed one night in Butte, Montana, hit up some hot springs in the morning and are now in Twin Falls, Idaho. We will stay tomorrow night in Reno, resupply and head up to Burning Man.

It's kind of weird being in the states. Unlike other countries I've been to (Japan, Thailand, the British Isles), everything is almost exactly like home, just a little bit different. It throws you off. Beer in convenience stores, everybody paying with cheques. It reinforces the oddness to have everything else, language, etc. the same.

It will be nice to get to the site where the weirdness will be overt and celebrated.

Stay tuned for more
