This post is to either
A) Find a ride for 2 to Burning man from San Francisco
B) Get enough people from the Bay Area together to share the cost of a SUV or van rental + gasoline costs.
PLAN A
I and a friend will be leaving San Francisco late on Tuesday August 28 and returning from Burning Man late afternoon / Early Evening on Sunday, September 2. We will be travelling lightly, as we only need to survive for 2 days when our friends with the rest of our supplies arrive.
So if you can take 2 people with a small amount of gear, please e-mail me and we will obviously help with traveling expenses and the driving if you want us to.
PLAN B
However, I notice that there are way more people looking for rides than offering, so it looks like we may have to rent a vehicle and drive out to Burning Man. That's where you ride-seekers come in. If you'd be interested in a travel schedule outlined above, send me an e-mail with your interest. I figure we can fit 3-4 more people + gear into a full-sized SUV. Rental cost when all is split up would be about $100/person, give or take. If we go this route, we can pick you up from your location and we will have some flexibility about stopping for supplies and departure times and so on. If you want to help with the driving, that would be great, but you'd need to accompany us to the rental agency so you can be listed as an authorized driver on the vehicle.
BIOGRAPHY
We are both from New York. I'm from the Buffalo/Niagara Falls area and she is from Manhattan. We're both well-travelled and good conversationalists. She has been to Burning Man once before and really "twisted my arm" to get me to Burning Man this year ;) We met at a regional burn in Delaware, of which I have been to several and organized a few theme camps there.
I prefer to deal with folks over the phone at first, and then e-mail thereafter, so if this sounds like a plan you want to work with, please leave a phone number and a good time to reach you. It's better to write me sooner rather than later since Burning Man is fast approaching and I'll need some time to organize the rental and so forth, so if you are at all interest, go ahead and write me now.
Happy burning!

Re: San Francisco, leaving Tuesday Night
Tue, August 14, 2007 - 9:53 PMOK I have made enough headway in putting a party together that I can give a firm schedule now. Rather than re-type everything I will just cut & paste my new and improved ad (also running it on San Fran's Craigslist). If interested, please leave me a message with a phone number as I'll be making a reservation on Friday:
I am assembling some people together to split the cost of a rental van or SUV to go to Burning Man. So far we have four people in our party. I posted an ad earlier and got a pretty good response. So I'm running an "updated" ad now with a firm travel schedule. I will make a vehicle reservation on Friday, so if you want to be a part of this we'll have to make it happen by then.
SCHEDULE:
Depart the Bay area 11pm-ish on Tuesday the 28th. This will put us at BRC around sunup on Wednesday.
We will leave BRC Monday morning around 3-5am to avoid traffic congestion out of the event.
COST: It's going to depend on the number of people. My best guess is $150/person for the rental + equal shares of gasoline.
Please do not write me if the schedule does not work for you. We have an hour or two of flexibility in both directions, but will definitely not leave much earlier on Tuesday nor will we leave on Wednesday.
