I have wanted to go to Burning Man since I heard of it years ago.  I am finally going to do it. We have 4-6 people in our group and I just signed the papers on a rental 32 foot Class A motorhome. 

I know there are tons of resources out there, but wondered if anybody here had any nuggets of wisdom.

Grew up in the desert, so I understand 1).

GF bought a ton of colored zinc sticks for 2).  [evil]

Bring things with which to barter.  I saw two women trading pies for items like batteries, bottled water and beer.

Looks like nobody's heading there until probably tomorrow, due to torrential rain:
