It's always amazing how they put this stuff on a 2" frame & claim you can tow it anywhere :roll: :roll:


Now Prem

I really know you wanna go to burning man :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
It's just the $400-$500 admission fee per person that's a killer.

Jerry,

3 inch. It's a Harbor Freight trailer painted black. :lol:

Burning Man? I've been there. It's *your* turn. :thumbsup:

They discount the tickets starting January 1st at 12:00:01 AM on the website. Blocks go for half price, then more blocks of tickets go for more and more until they hit $500+ in about May. It's worth it...once, at least. And check it out: Even us cargo cult folks, teardrops and tiny travel snail trailers are welcome! 8)

...and Jerry, you do Yoga in the morning at campouts, right?

8) We never know in advance how much for the cheap tickets. It costs a sheet load to setup, run and tear down that monster gig, so any ticket under $500 is a bargain. Just skip the Chinese buffet a few times and it all evens out. It's worth it. Not kidding. :thumbsup:

You don't need to be a "hipster" to see that the future of economic housing is trailers (but they still need a teardrop or tiny travel trailer for camping.)

Well, there's still Slab City, that park in Berkeley just off campus or this one for you and your trailer in Austin, TX. :cry:
