41/ Monkey Huts in color





If you can had a bit of color to your MH it's always welcomed by your neighbors.
This camp recycled a vinyl billboard.





We want more of them.





Tan shade cloth makes the difference.


42/ Parachute 1




The Hammock Hangout & Space Cats Camp with 90 Hammocks, 12 000 sq ft of shade and tons of Karaoke.





Parachute are designed to catch air, so it better be anchored.






Eucalyptus pole






A way to stay anonymous, not a friendly sight.






Taking down a camp around center camp, notice the holes in the chute to prevent the ballooning.







43/ Parachute 2





To secure the shade more participants are using what I call the flying saucer shape with at least 1 strong mast and 6 poles with a cable /rope running all around the chute connecting its guylines.





Same flying saucer shape with 14 pvc poles without the all-around cable/rope.






This Ribbon-ring parachute will let the air flow through.





It's always better to give an aerodynamical to your parachute shade.






From a distance it looked like a Georges Rousse installation







44/ Aluminet





The Intergalactic Black Rock City Airport Lounge, trendy place to be.
FAA identifier is 88NV

The Lost Lounge was part of the Temple builder camp.
Like a large bedouin camp, made of large pieces of burlap fabric supported by poles holding together with the patented Gregg Fleishman nodes.












Somewhere in the Mindfield.







47/ Trailers & RV's: we want to see more of




These trailers participate in the fabric and spirit of BRC.
Always fun to see them. 































48/ Trailers & RV's: the good side of




Since the very beginning, RV's and Trailers made Black Rock City. Classic or beat-up you can see them in all early images of BRC, without them no event. Mostly owned by burners themselves they had character, style and variety. Americana at its Best. Today the city has grown larger, denser, with participants unwilling to let go their day-to-day comfort and lifestyle, thus the thousands of big, obnoxious, rented RV's doting any block of the city. This post is dedicated to the burners keeping with some sort of old school spirit. The next post #49 will show you some apocalyptical views of what an RV's city looks like. Ugly. 


Old Timers.
