Damdifino,

I have perused your blog and really appreciate your alliterative prose. I especially enjoyed the section on Burning Man. I wondered if part of the reason for your dream trip revolved around making it to Black Rock City, or if it was just incidental to your travels.

There have been a couple of times in my adult life where I have had the luxury of traveling for a month or more at a time, and although I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience, it is always good to have a place to call home.

Thanks for the time and effort you put into recording your journey, and especially for sharing it with us.

....well, truck camper Forum is the place where many, many RVnet users subscribed to other Forums come to "read" trip reports I'm sure you'll have a heck of an audience here!



I don't understand why there are almost no trip reports in the other forums. Surely those folks take trips and can write a short synopsis about it.

..only about half way through but you have an excellent blog. Thanks for posting up on the truck camper forum.

One question. As much trouble as you seem to have squeezing into some of those campsites; did you ever wish you had brought the truck camper instead?

Thanks for posting this trip blog! I've gotten to browse through, stopping to read the section on Burning Man in its entirety. I really had no idea what that shindig was about til now. And the links to the events' pics were pretty cool as well.

Yes, many times I wished for the truck camper. Especially seeing how many of them there are up in the Northwest. They're rare down here in Texas.

Yes, the timing of Burning Man had a lot to do with the pace of my trip. Usually I don't make reservations along the way, but I felt I needed to if I wanted to arrive at Black Rock City at the right time. I've been interested in going to Burning Man for several years and this was my opportunity.
