As I understand it, BRC always becomes a lake in winter. What causes those nasty dunes is late winter/early spring freezing of the little water left, which lifts the hard packed lakebed into fluffiness designed to trap bikes. Ma Nature hasn’t been this kind for 6 or 7 years!

Imagining the playa under water is one thing, but thinking of the MOOPteam is truly mind boggling!

We just returned from Bonnaroo and they also have a micro-cleaning policy where nothing bigger than a cigarette bud will be left on the 700 acres fields. We were amazed at how much the campers left behind though… (and pleased with the “groundscores” we got!) :)

LOVE me a HARD Playa, praying for another, but we already got a MOOP map, (and our camp was green as envy) but I still don’t get how 9 months later, the Playa, filled with water and snow, is supposed to keep EXACTLY the same MOOP iin EXACTLY the same position as when we were there? Somebody, please SPLAIN???

Yes theBigKahuna! We pulled a total rookie move and didn’t bring goggles to that burn. That was a very long bike ride home. But I would go back to it in a heart beat.

The Playa gets somewhat covered in water most every year…..how much gets covered is what changes from year to year. This year has seen a good amount of coverage, the city site should be in pretty good shape. Here is a link to a flickr photo stream with some photos taken in October, when the playa clean-up/inspection got delayed and then newer in the photo stream….some taken in February as the winter water continued to move down the playa. If you like the view from above….come out to BRC Airport during event week….many pilots enjoy sharing/gifting aviation with our playa family.
