Greetings David,
Last year I camped in the "alternative energy" neighborhood
of Burning Man, along with a host of other Westys & VW busses.
A year later, that micro playa dust *still rains down from crevices
every time I wash my van!
How was the weather on the playa this year?  Last year, I was glad
of my stack of books to see me thru those 12 hour long sand storms.
Was Debbie's Petting Zoo all the rage again this year, LOL?!!!
