now to ready thelaunch site for all of you.

We will post the Survival Guide for the mission very soon.

In the meantime, here are a few things you will need for this
mission:

• Your Paypal confirmation and a govt/state issued ID for
all adults.

• Your own water, food, shelter, and clothing for the 2.5
day mission, including gray water container.

* An approved fire pit or burn barrel with spark arrester screen
if you want to be sure and have your own camp fire.

• Respect for the beautiful launch site and an awareness
of all signs.

• Your Burner "Leave-No-Trace" attitude! Don't bring the MOOP.

• All of your best hopes and intentions for an amazing event.

• Gifts to share, musical instruments, art, anything to add
to the event.

Keep in mind all registered Theme Camps and RV's will be placed by
our City Planner (Dag). All those in tents will be placed and have their
gear transported into the Sand Wash by DPW crew, unless they have a
4x4 vehicle that can negotiate in soft sand without getting stuck.
All registered Art will also be placed by the City Planner.

creativity with the inhabitants of Mars. A call went out for
