Center Camp so far
August 21st, 2009 | Filed under Building BRC
Center camp is coming along mighty fast. In a little less than two weeks, it’s gone from simply flags in the dusty playa to the king posts being dug to the shade being hung.
Here’s a look at the progress along the way, right up to Friday morning.

the start of things

there was plenty of dust when the king posts went in


there's a new crew name this year, and Jamie had it tattooed on her leg. (at least for awhile)

Goat manning the saw

Austintatious, Jamie and the others check the ties on the shades

Any confirmation on the rumor of hordes of bugs on the playa this year?

The rumor is false. It’s swarms of scorpions, which are technically arachnids, so no…there are no hordes of bugs

Looking good! I may borrow that idea of connecting shade pieces to cables for our shade structure this year. Looks like it enhances airflow and flexes in the wind… good design!

Thank you for all your efforts, which at time go thankless.
The end result is always spectacular.
