Art Bound for the Black Rock Desert
Members of several New York-area groups headed to Burning Man loaded their equipment and art onto container trucks in Jersey City.
Nothing is for sale at Burning Man except ice and coffee. Campers are responsible for everything they need for survival and comfort, and that can pose difficulties for East Coasters. Many transcontinental participants ship their supplies or buy them in Reno on the way to the site. Last weekend the New Yorkers filled three tractor-trailer containers with makeshift kitchens, bicycles and desert art sculptures.
