The squid is frozen breaded rings that I got from the Korean superstore behind my house. They have a fish market there and I dont know what most of the fish are. They have live flounder like fish called a "Fluke" which they sell for $75 a piece!

How much are the fees for the Burning Man nowadays?

I took a drive on the Black Rock Desert when I was on our trip. It is huge! I came upon a guy taking a nap under his airplane on the playa. He woke up and waved at us as we drove by. It probably wont feel as huge with the massive crowd of Burning Man.

There are some nice hot springs around there, but they close access to them during Burning Man. I bet you can still drive to Soldier Meadows hot spring as it is a good distance from where Burning Man takes place. The BLM has a trailer in Gerlach with some maps and information.

Are you going to be running around the desert at night naked? Take lots of condoms.
