The Elders - Burning Man Theme Camp 2009

Welcome to "The Elders" Burning Man Theme camp web site.
(Our address will be posted as soon as we know what it is.)

From 4 to 6 each afternoon (except Wednesday) we offer a "Brie, Bach, and Talk" get together. Come and join us for relaxed conversation about many, many topics. The Brie and wine are delicious too!
At other times just drop in and say hello. Last year we had impromptu drumming, massage and body painting. Totally unscheduled.

Who are we? A bunch of "elders", age wise from fifty or so up to the early seventies. We're, collectively, bicyclists, hikers, physicists, engineers, teachers, psychologists, oceanographers, counselors, artists, homebuilders, grandparents, naturalists, naturists and who knows what else. Mostly we're actively retired.

Our camp is very informal. We try to set it up so that spontaneous camp events, can just happen. The community space includes the 30' x20' structure with a massage table, solar bag shower area, and "health permit" properness for our "Brie, Bach, and Talk"

We tend to have open minds about theology, drugs, nudity, music, art, porta potti's, and dust storms. But talk to any of us individually and you'll soon find a very varied number of viewpoints. All supported, or perhaps fossilized :) , by many years of life's experiences.
