Burning Man is *kind of* on my bucket list. There were one or two years where I almost pulled the trigger on it in my 20's. Now, it'll probably have to happen in my 50's...if I ever do it at all.

A bucket list item for me, too, though I'm intimidated by the whole artsy-costume aspect of it. And I hate dirt.

120 degrees in a dusty alkaline desert? No thanks, I'll pass. I would rather play tourist in Afghanistan.

The title says they landed this plane at Burning Man? OMG what a rough landing. Was the pilot partaking before they did the worlds largest fly by doobie toss upon arrival?
