I estimate our camp location at BM07 to be: 40°44’38.04″N 119°14’24.38″W. This is only an estimate because it’s based on my understanding from last year that the offset black rock city position was an experiment and would revert to the “traditional” location this year.

I setup a Soekris net4511 box with a Mini-PCI radio (Prism 2.5) to suck Internet off the wireless and rebroadcast it out the Ethernet.

Here’s a QTVR of our ’06 camp. This was taken the first morning, which is why the city looks so empty. Everyone had moved in around us by the time it was all over.

More Photos Thanks to Aaron, last night I got the chance to use an Oxyacetylene torch to create a great burn barrel out of an old 55 gallon drum for our upcoming trip to the Black Rock Desert. We cut the drum in half with the torch, cutting a flame effect across the top and [...]

Photos Yesterday was the first ever Adventioneering Backcountry Gourmet Challenge. First of all, thank you to everyone who showed up even in the soggy weather. For those of you who were unable to make it, we missed you and hope you make it to the next one, since we’ll definitely be doing this again! The [...]
