On the last week of August 2008–my friends Dave Binck, Mike Cerrone and I drove for 14 hours from L.A to the middle of the desert in northern Nevada for 8 days at Burning Man. The event has been going on since the late 1980′s and is one of the most impressive experiences I have ever been a part of. This year 50,000 people participated in the “art” and “free spirit” festivities.
At Burning Man there is no buying or selling of anything. Everything must be brought with you upon entry and taken away with you when you leave. The premise is to leave “no trace”.
Over the course of the last few months I have tried repeatedly to write about our experience and have found that it is simply indescribable. And believe me when I say I tried.
Today I came across this professionally shot photo gallery and feel that these pictures that tell part of the story on their own.

The three of us are already plotting our return in 2009. This much is for certain! And I have a feeling that our camp will be expanding. : )
Much Peace and Love,
