I attended once years ago with a wealthy friend out of Vegas before the silicon billionaires & spooks took it over. He had a customized RV big rig with 2500 gallons of water, diesel genny, tons of food & beer. The place was setup with squared off multiple encampments from million dollar RV's down to the tent dwellers & the psychedelic crowd. Nobody outside our circle were allowed in. It was super hot, dry, dusty, but a lotta fun. I probably only engaged with 2% of the crowd, mostly Europeans. Resident folks in Nevada warn not to go out in Black Rock desert if it rains and if it looks like it might rain, GTFO!. You couldn't pay me or buy my ticket to go there in these times.
