Ah! Back seat removed. When I went to Burning Man 2000 alone, I removed the back seats and passenger seat in my Honda VX in order to pack more. At BM you must bring everything, including water that you will need for a week. That's a lot of water. I brought 20 gallons and had some left over.
I was glad I was shooting 35mm film and a cheap video camera, the alkaline dust was miserable, especially in a dust storm white out.
I was also hauling heavy desert proof interactive sculptures. Of course my car had rally car markings that read NOT ART. The art were human sized turntables that allowed dancing in the wind. The video is better, not much better...
You can almost see the inside of the car in Pic 3, big cooler in passenger area.
No way would I have used LF under the extreme conditions. Possibly during the few still hours we had that year.
The best part was, although I traveled solo, I met with an ad hoc group of 50 other solo Burners. We all met on the Internet in 1999 and formed our camp called 'The Solos'. Each solo brought something to share, like a keg of iced craft beer that wasn't opened until the night before the Burn.
I find I really like travelling solo. I meet way more people.
