The crowd moves forward...

Sarah on the road to the Man

The arms are raised

The procession moves forward

The Man explodes

And catches fire

And dances in the flames

Should we put the top up on the jeep? (road out of Burning Man)

Shoe shine? (in Reno at the Golden Nugget)

On the road again... (looks like rain)

Looks like a lot of rain...

Only 32 more hours to go....
