Early Arrival and Breakdown 2017
Early Arrival and Breakdown Details
A key part of participation is our early arrival and breakdown crews. Early Arrival crew builds the camp infrastructure so that its ready when the gates open on Sunday night. Breakdown takes it all away and packs it up and makes sure that we are a green LNT camp.
EVERY person who steps foot on playa before gates open needs a Work Access Pass (as well as their ticket of course). We are limited in how many we get, and priority goes to people who arrive earlier.
This year, there are three early arrival dates that you can choose from if you want to participate. For each date, you must arrive in reno and do any shopping needed there AT LEAST the day before so that you can be on playa by mid-day on the date you are stating. We plan on all eating a big breakfast together in reno on each of these days and then heading out as a pack.
The early arrival dates are:
Monday Morning, August 21
Wednesday Morning, August 23
Friday Morning, August 25
We also need people to help with the shopping, storage loading, etc in Reno starting Saturday morning August 19th.
Breakdown means that you stay until Monday night or Tuesday Mid-day. This is key work that really helps us a lot. PLEASE, if you can, do not book your flight out of reno to return any earlier than Wednesday. Many hands make the work go easy. And I will love you forever.
Following Breakdown, we will need help in Reno to unload into the storage unit, clean trucks etc etc. Please help if you can. It is a crucial point, where the core group will end up with a lot of the hard work all on their own if we don't all pitch in.
