Thank you both for your words of kindness and love. I return it to you in kind with my thanks for allowing me to be a part of this project, of something I was truly proud of. We were a COMMUNITY on playa, and our work was our temple. I will never ever forget the lot of us crammed into the Cryptabago for a community potluck, passing around the Oreos. It was a moment that shines through in my mind.

Skirblah is right on when he reminds us of the comments we received when working on the crane. I distinctly remember the Japanese burners coming up to the sign, reading the word, "Sembazuru", and it was like a light bulb came on in his head, reminding him of the sacred nature of the place. It reached out to him. I slowly bowed to him, as per Japanese tradition. He bowed back sincerely in the same manner. And then we hugged each other. The reaching out, the understanding in that moment will last the rest of my life in my memory. I told him I was honored to have aided in building the temple. And his soft and sincere "thank you" made it all worthwhile.

But enough of this.....tears in my eyes of gratitude are making it hard for me to respond. I think I'll go research some more about the proper way to tie-dye black on black t-shirts so's I can be a true goth hippy like you two.

I'd be honored to help you again. Just call.

^Rhino!

We not only had a great crew and theme camp....we gained a family!
: )

Hugs to you all
(((((hugs)))))

Goth hippy. I bet you that Gothalot taught you, or is planning on teaching you how to tie dye black on black.

Ha ha!
