We all planned to meet up at 10 at the generator to begin our mocve to the playa. On the way there we stopped to pick up Ben at his hotel >>. We had justy pulled out of Bens hotel when a distracted driver rear ended us and really messed up the rear bumber and side panels of the camper. His car was miuch worse off.   The other driver was very apologetic.. I felt really bad for him.. his father had died the day before and he was really distracted.. 

we did all the exchange of information,. I called the camper rental folks and helped them start the process for a claim.. 

what a way to start the day !

we fianlly got to generator and started the process of getting fluffy out the door. Its not as simple as it sounds ..there’s a deep dip on the exit ramp from the generator parking lot that ripped off soem of fluffys clouds and racking last year. THis year we bought

a bunch of 2×4’s and filled in the dip as best we could. 

Duane slowly drove over as we all held our breath.. we cleared the dip with about 4 inches to spare .. phewwwww !

THen we were on our way tfor the long slow drive to the playa.. it was about 4 hours drive to teh burnign man access road.. then about 5 hours wait in line to get in.. actually not that bad !

we got to camp just as it got dark.. 
 
Gabe was already there>>

We ate and headed to bed.

this is already so fun !
