The motto of Burning Man is "No Spectators." Before we arrived, I had a hard time believing that statement was any more than rhetoric. But I understand now. These are people who make the trek to the middle of nowhere to hang out in 100 degree windstorms with no running water for a week at a time. Many of them renting trucks to haul the aforementioned loads of fun. It takes commitment. It takes a certain lunacy.
