Of the 80th...Burning Man
Leaving the 80th to get the road to Burning Man, it is 10 pm. At the Burning Man, problems with the connection to the internet. We just arrive last night at 12:30. Is a 46.000 people city, the city life time is one week every year. During the week they are taking place art installations and crafts installations. Artists from all over the world meet in the middle of the dessert with one common goal: Burn the man.
Our fab lab camp is settled behind the artic zone at 4E. Different people is coming over to know the lab, to make anything...
Nevada State
We entered Nevada at today´s noon. A little stop to take some salt samples to be used on energy projects, maybe they can change many things in the future. The clocks had to be changed, now is one hour less. We got a pullover at the highway, the plice man did not asked Amy for her license, he looked more interested in the trailer and about what we are doing here. The man just indicated us the way to Burning Man.
Utah...in the way to Nevada (30 aug)
We have crossed Salt Lake City in the way to Nevada
At the gas station in Wendover, we met with some firemen of the town. We had a very nice talk with a fire woman about the possibilities of digital and personal fabrication. She would improve the water purification system if she would be able to have a Fab Lab, it was the first issue for her. As a fire woman she would make a system to remove the trash when a building is burned. "Energy will be great as long as it can be accessible to the people in terms of use, and if it generates jobs..." -she said.
Is about Landscape
After an all night long drive we just passed Buford, a Town village with total population of...1. Coffe and the roads continue through the 80th, west direction.
It has been difficult get connected to the internet. Short stops. We are looking for a USPS office at Point of Rocks, a trailer-town. Finally we got it at Rock Springs.
