SECRET MAGIC of SOOT

SOOT Magic Happens.... _{anytime wood is burned.}

Updated some things and added another Secret Step April-2018

Friday surrounding structures are set afire causing smoke and magic dust to whirl.

This ible is/was my Survival and Decompression for Adventures at the Burn.

You will want protection from what the sun and sand storms, do to your body during the day.
Then the occasional cold nights, the nightime burners who wear NO Lights you cannot see
until the crash and the bonfires at night.

A loose long sleeve cotton fabric shirt works on sunburn protection and as a
sand pelting shield. I wear glasses for sand eye protection and
stay out of the noonday sun when I can { no mad dog English man am I ).
The sweat headband can be an emergency bandage for a road rash crash.

Did I mention that red sweat headband ? well you need to replenish that
lost moisture in the desert ! That means keep well hydrated DRINK H₂O.
Several people succumb to lack of moisture and have to be treated for shock every day.
I carry two some times three full water bottles, whenever I leave our camp on my bike
during the day, even in the Center Camp.

Playa dust is everywhere. Cooking food is a game fit in between dust blows.
Making a meal, in the dust which is much more visible on a longer view.
You can see playa dust in Pics 2 & 4
Playa dust gets into every thing.

The Massive Trojan Horse.

Some hangers on watching it all, you will never see me
risking life like that without a safety hard hat :-)

A triple Decker VW

Front porch mutant vehicle.

I like this for my grand kids
Now looking into building a smaller version of this.
Just three glu-lams.
And people surviving the dust.

Events day and night
Center Camp of much activity
Go on in and out of sight
To a camera always ready.

You can never ever see it all
Tripping through the Lights Fantastique
Where the man stands so tall
A moon flower blooms at midnight's peak

Red, White and Blue are the colors of past events.

• Red eyes glow
• White is the Fifth Element
• Light Brown is the Belgian Waffle
• Double Rainbows lap over torn dome
• Light Gray surround Lakka brandy
• White and blue very happy shirted couple
• Ironess fire and water against a dark blue sky
• Blue graviton mutant vehicle

Rangers Are The Good Guys !!

Really Good Magic Guys, Trust Them, to Help..

and

Pray for Larry to Recover..

Leaving time.... only two plus hours to get out to blacktop.
Not as bad, when compared to 4½ hours of endless delay
arriving only to be put into creeping 2mph parallel lines slot
watching others around me suffering sputtering in the fray

See a pic of a hapless RV towed to Reno from far away.

Survived burning sun, cold hot adult beverages, eaten food laced with playa silica
and avoided injury and death from many directions and means. .
I am now decompressed.

Thanks for viewing.
