Jill Wildfire here with another (probably the last) update! I returned from the wonderful playa late Sunday night still in awe of everything that has been accomplished out there, the spectacular teamwork and continued dedication to the Temple of Flux. I can’t wait to go back! Now for the update:
Saturday noon
Cladding
On Friday the frames for Antelope were erected, cladding was almost finished on Dumont and cladding had begun on Cayuaga. Most cladding teams consist of 2 or 3 people. Two people up on the framing and one picking pieces and handing them up and helping locate and orient them into the desired positions.
By noon on Saturday the burn team had almost finished placing what they needed to in Dumont, El Dorado and Cayuaga and had started on Antelope.
At 1:15pm Saturday afternoon the frames for Bryce were erected completing the erection of all the dune’s frames! We had a little champagne celebration as the last nail was shot in!
Frames erected!
Caves
After lunch Saturday the first major dust storm came in and stuck around for quite a while. However, work was still being accomplished. The bracing for the frames were finished and Jess wasn’t backing down on the cladding as El Dorado began to get skin.
Cladding is going up everywhere with a keen eye for the artistic vision.
Caves are being created; some as memorials, some as spots to meditate and all as special places with special meaning to the cave creator. The burn team continues to place burn things here and there all in sequence for an amazing burn Sunday!
Friday night
Keep up the good work everyone! I’ll see you in the dust!
