Everything that I imagined the desert would be like was wrong.

The train is the best way to travel. My 64 hour long journey from the chicago area to black rock city included at least one ride on or in a car, little baggage tractor, train, bicycle, shopping cart and inside the back of a rental truck. On the two day train ride through the awe inspiring front doorstep that was the farmland and mountains of america my party and i met fellow burners who needed a ride out into the wilderness. which made us a party of five.

Along with the 3 from Chicago we had a traveler and a man from Ireland. 3 guys and 2 gals. The guys ended up riding into black rock city, after the strenuous journey in search of provisions, in the back of a rental truck commanded by the gals in the front. Having left reno, civilization, with the door only opening again in the middle desert was an amazing entrance.. the folks in the car behind had a big laugh when they saw three guys climb out of a truck they had likely been following for many miles through the desert!
