Fwd: RV Pictures

How funny...Dav forwarded me pictures of an old RV we're considering buying...and he mistakenly sent it to Kokochi. So for the day, there were a bunch of pictures showing off this 70's decor RV with no explanation; that was a pretty hilarious posting for a day...

Yes, we are entering RV land. Or seriously thinking about it...for Burning Man. I love camping in our gigantic tent, and the connection to the desert you get from living "in the dust." However, with Gargle on the way, we're having to be more practical. Now, this might come as a shocker to you all that we are even thinking of going to Burning Man since Gargle will be just 2 months old. But here is the deal: if we don't try to plan, we definitely won't be able to go. If we prepare to go, then we may be able to go *if* she is doing well, if I've recovered well and have energy, and we feel confident as parents.

We are carefully researching issues - and have lots of feedback about the difficulties I'll face physically, how dehydration is a main concern triple normal rates, how I may never even be able to leave the RV anyway, or even how driving to the playa might take forever since we'll have to stop for breastfeeding every 2 hours and have to take her out of the car seat. Lots to think about. We're not stupid or brash, and certainly won't push this in any way. But just in case there is no reason not to go, we want to be ready. Thus the RV.

I can't imagine experiencing Burning Man from the comforts of an RV. No more 24 hours of setting up camp, we'll actually have a kitchenette, and even a full bed!

We'll keep you posted how the reality shapes. I'm fully aware that once Gargle is here, lots of changes that we can't fathom now will happen. *If* we go, I plan to fully document it for others as it shall be quite the experiment.
