If you have an EMT rating, you might be able to "work" for the Burning Man Organizational Group or REMSA (local Reno area Med/EMT/Ambulance company)

If you even think of going, visit a 2nd hand store and buy everything you will be taking to BM with you, including a bicycle......then on the way
home, put it all in a dumpster. You will NEVER get all of the Playa Dust out of it. Oh, and try and hitch a ride with someone......don't even think of
taking your own car.
Worked that event (against my will, but the OT was great) for two years....would never go on my own....again or ever!!!

Hey Pack!
Thanks for your report. I have lots of friends who go every year, including an MD with whom I play music. He, his daughter, her ex and also her
current boyfriend all went went together. They were part of the flame twirlers group.
I am curious to know: were you able to clean out your RV and get all the sand out? Do you think the sand caused potential damage to your motor and
transmission?
I recently bought a used motorhome and would like to take it. It is extremely clean, as in hardly used. Do you recommend that I take it next year?

I was surprised how easy it was to get my RV back clean. The dust washes right off with water. I placed a sprinkler under the RV and moved it around
every few minutes. After about an hour of unpacking and vacuuming, the interior looks like it did before I left home - which isn't saying much.  But then again, they say that we had relatively mild weather for this year's Burning
Man. The ideal vehicle to bring would have to be a rented box van full of fun stuff like maybe a dome shade structure, big tent, and so on. I didn't
see any of the rental box vans getting towed out at the end of the event.

Yes, playa dust will always be there, somewhere, reminding you of the great times. Blue painters tape helps if you want to seal a window or cabinet. I
brought a small air tank to blow out the radiator before departure, as well as a new air filter. Take the MH, just allow some time and beer for a
clean up, it is only dust

I'd really like to go but we have dogs and won't leave them. I've read that dogs are not welcome. Is that true?

Speaking of hot dogs, there was a guy on the middle of the open playa with a hot dog stand, and he was giving away excellent hot dogs with all the
trimmings. There was one camp that was giving away grilled cheese sandwiches that were cut diagonally by using a guillotine.

I didn't take a single photograph. I could tell it wouldn't show up as good in pictures.
