1. "Hexayurt in Reno" sounds like the seed of a song. But this doesn't help you much directly.
2. A materials run from the Playa, with a covered structure to build Hexayurts in on the Playa, would solve a lot of problems. Maybe a quad-dome or other larger stretch yurt would suffice? [alert the Reno supply place to have enough materials on hand?] This would be an emergency yurt building collaboration, with you being the first emergency. This could also turn into a "yurt storage for next year" solution. PS: Use the large machinery hippies for large machinery!
