Emanuel / Mystique – We don’t have the high-resolution map ready yet, but it will be posted in several weeks. Unfortunately we may not be able to give you the exact location of every piece of MOOP found, for obvious reasons — we have a whole city to cover, and recording exact detail of every rebar would just take too long.

You were in a very dusty zone, which was a disadvantage for your entire camp. It’s not totally surprising that things were missed, even rebar which can disappear in the dust! I would say, just beef up your MOOP team for next year, and work on kicking through all the dunes and clumps of dust. I wish I could give you every detail of what we found, but hopefully the high-resolution map will help when it is released.

Thank you SO MUCH for your dedication, and for caring so much about this. It means a lot.

JSteop and The Hun,

I was the last one to leave on wed afternoon at 4 pm. I did 6 consecutive moop sweeps over a 3 day period. There was NOTHING in our spot when I left. We did have three sets of squatters on our property…but I checked all their spots as they pulled out on Monday and Tuesday…and found nothing in their spaces. I don’t know who would have left buried rebar…if you can get me a detailed location of the rebar I can tell you who was camping in that spot!! I personally don’t use rebar. I use custom 36 inch long stakes (the kind the big top tent guys use). Nobody in our camp had blue astroturf…I have no idea where that came from. Pile of wire cabling also sounds like something that was left behind by another person….I would have to see the tiny pieces of plastic before making any comment on that. I would VERY much like to see everything that was found and exactly were it was found…..can you forward me a higher resolution map of the debris? mrmystique here: mrmystique (at) earthlink.net is fine. Thanks!

Mystique, et al,
Don’t forget the wind doesn’t stop when we leave. Also there are still a lot of people around well past Monday. If you mooped and it was clear, know that. You have no control over what happened when you left.

Mystique, here’s what the MOOP line found in that spot:
- pile of wire cabling
- buried rebar
- tiny pieces of plastic
- blue astroturf

Does any of that sound familiar? Maybe it was buried under dust, and later exposed by the rain.

Hey 666isMONEY! Good idea about photographing a day’s worth of MOOP, I’ll see if I can make that happen. As for red spots, they don’t tend to photograph well, because even if there is enough MOOP to really show up in the picture, it tends to be playa-colored and kinda invisible :)

Thanks for mooping!!!!

I love seeing So much green on the map, and so little red. I hope the rest looks this good.
