Excellent. Not too far from the truth. Except you have to drive 8 hours to get to the game, it lasts a week, and everyone wins. Black Rock City is temporary, one week per year. Each year the city moves to minimize impact on the desert. Next year we'll make a new map. It does raise the question of how to preserve web mapping history. Burning Man is an extreme example of a dynamic world in flux. Burning Man Flickr photos from 2008 only make sense against the 2008 map. -Mikel
