Burning Man Gear List

cassandra May 29, 2020

August 2019 After 11 trips to Burning Man, I have my camping system down. Other than a few tweaks each year, I take the same gear. I have found it’s a lot easier and less stressful when I use gear dedicated to the event, even when it means having duplicate…

Across the River

cassandra May 29, 2020

Sunday, May 24, 2020 I had planned to head out to River Song last night after our kayak trip, but I got home after 10:00 p.m. It just didn’t make sense to leave that late and arrive around midnight; I might as well get a good night’s sleep at home…

Three Days, Two Nights

cassandra May 11, 2020

May 8 to 10, 2020 I needed a break from peopling, so took Friday off work and headed out to River Song. My plans included installing the new emergency exit upstairs, , rebuilding the mudroom roof, laying laminate flooring downstairs, building a compost bin, and attacking that fallen red alder…

My First Night

cassandra May 6, 2020

May 2 & 3, 2020 My first night in my new cabin! I said last week I was finished with Phase I, which to me is the cabin’s shell. The foundation, frame, walls, and roof are all in. (Almost! The mud room/loo still has a “redneck roof,” but I’m in…
