Well we have our own Yurt Hood this year planned at camp charlie. As of now we have 7 yurts using my stud system planned. I know there will be at least three more. Which means we will have a Yurt Empire. 10 o clock and G. Look for the big pink candy mountain art car or the "glow in the dark" framed yurt. That will be mine. And all this means there are about 4 less RV's stinking up the playa.
