Early Arrival and Breakdown 2013

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 an early arrival 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 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 19
Wednesday Morning, August 22
Friday Morning, August 23

Breakdown means that you stay until Monday night or Tuesday night. 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.
