Burning Man 1996: Shower Camp

Once you've gotten your frontal lobes around the idea of sushi in the desert then it won't be much of a stretch to showers. Group showers. Happy group showers. One of the social high points of Burning Man 1996.

SHOWERS

As you can plainly see, this is a rather primative shower. Usually one chooses not to stand directly on the wetted playa surface because it becomes a gluey caked-on muck, but when you've got a steady supply of water it can quickly be washed off again. Still, there's still room for improvements.

From where does this water come? Not from the decorative things atop the shower structure, but from helpers who aim hoses into the crowd. And for those who fear nudity at Burning Man, let the man in the shorts assure you that you may choose to bare as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

Here's another public shower - as most seemed to be - with a few civilizing touches: astroturf to protect your tootsies, benches to make doffing and donning clothes a bit easier, and hanging water containers which are warmed in the sunlight. And the gentle breezes make it all the better.

slightly more civilized

Of course, now that I've got all that dust from patrolling off of me, it's time to raise some more dust over at Hula Camp.
