The last of the tower parts have been re-lashed and bundled for travel. The shade cloth is cut, folded and packed in a large duffel bag. The benches are neatly stacked. The lights have been organized and packed into bags according to their placement. Miles of rope and cable have been neatly wound and sorted. There are duplicates of everything, and with the exception of a few small details - mainly the cold-cathode light fixture and my personal camping gear - all is ready for the playa.
Things left to do:
- finalize time lapse photography rig (computer, camera, mounting pole, shade and dust protection)
- gather camping gear
- clean camp carpets
- burn edges of new carpet
- prepare tower assembly diagrams with important dimensions
- repair bike electronics
- repair hat electronics
- purchase playa food and drink (Saturday)
- finish and test CC light fixture (waiting on toroid)
- purchase extension cord for tower power
- trim extra shade cloth for big tent shade
The list goes on - but it all seems doable in the time I have left. My truck is taking another trip to the repair shop for a just discovered water leak somewhere around the engine . . . I'm hoping this will prove to be a minor thing! If not, I'll have to really scramble for some alternative transportation - like a 20' Pensky box truck.
