I'm one of those kooky desert people. I love the Black Rock Desert, and have been studying it to move there shortly. It's near Reno, Nevada, too, so I can gamble!
Neat! What's there to do there?  Nevada isan interesting place.

Burning Man
Burning Man is an event held annually in the western United States at Black Rock City, a temporary city erected in the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada, approximately north-northeast of Reno.
