I'm heading out to the playa on the 18th. I live in Reno and I was planning on building a hexayurt next week (if I get my shit together). I have a full size truck I'm taking out there. I'm up for if u wanna build one here and I can help transport it out. Not sure how much room 2 yurts would take up. I may have a possibility of borrowing a small utility trailer. When are you headed to the playa and what days would you have available to work on it?
