Playa Posting

So, I have full net access from the playa; I'm going to try to make daily posts about stuff, possibly just photos — which may stop working on my LJ within the next few days because arclight.net is moving to a new colo.
The weather is rather cool this year (only in the high 90F's) and it is also very windy. Night is also unexpectedly warm. The surface of the playa is very loose and crumbly this year. It's a little bit difficult to ride a bike over in spots — mostly the sand dunes, of which there are very many this year. We had several white-outs yesterday while setting up the tents.
There is a lunar eclipse tonight. I'm probably going to observe it by doing a mystical woo-woo ritual, and photographing it through my 500mm lens with the man in the frame. I think that the red of the moon will contrast the green man well. (This is a really hard shot to get right too, it has at least 9ev of dynamic range between the moon and the illuminated tent below the man)
