flying to Burning Man
Great Thread, I was wondering about exactly this topic just the other
day (planning for next year).
I've heard that a pilot's best best is to barter with someone coming up
in a ground vehicle and offer a flight or two in exchange for having
someone bring their supplies up (no way I can fit a weeks worth of
supplies into my PA-28-140)... Anyone have any experience with this?

out of curiosity, since I have a group of friends who might be
interested; has anyone out there flown to Burning Man? I would
be curious about the logistics involved (what amount of stuff,
water, etc.) you were able to carry -- was it sufficient for a
half decent/confortable stay? -- I know, there are info
on BM web site, but I would prefer some first hand and possibly
critical -- which the web site is not -- info on the matter);
In particular; I have found many pictures online of the event
itself, but very few of the airfield proper, tie down/aircraft
themselves; it might help to get the picture so to speak of what's
involved, tie down conditions, etc.
Note that I am not debating whether the whole thing is a good
idea or not :-) -- still opened to discussion with said friends --
just trying to figure out the implementation details...
