Northwest
Mist
2008
Want to
escape the
heat?
Come
visit us in our
Pacific Northwest inspired misting tent.
Step
through our
portal and temporarily transcend the playa sauna for some forest mist.
We will
be providing a soothing Northwest atmosphere to
escape the mid-day heat.
100 degrees outside?
85 degrees
inside. :0)
...and double the humidity!
Northwest Mist is happy to be returning to the playa this year.
Just look for our sign
near… 3:00
plaza?
Take a break from your daytime playa activities
and listen to our soothing fountain and thunderstorm sounds
as you are refreshed by
a steady
mist from above.
Here's
what our camp
might look like.

We are
also working on
a new Mutant Vehicle for the Playa this year. (we hope
it will be invited to the
playa)
Solarus
Relaxus Motivus
(..or what airplane builders
can do with
an old golf cart, an old couch, and enough beer..)
was a
true hit last
year,
Alas,
it
was too cumbersome
to make the trip again,
and in
true Burningman
fashion
became
raw materials
for its next incarnation…
This year our 1992
EZ-GO Electric golf cart
will be transformed into
“The Ghost
of The Lady Washington”
(click on the sketches to go the the Northwest Mist Mutant Vehicle page)
Commissioned
in 1759, she was
the first American ship to visit the Pacific Northwest.
Since we believe that
part of the
American Dream is exploration,
we think that this ship
is a good
example of that.
We hope our
interpretation will invoke the explorer's heart in the citizens of BRC
this year.

We have raised the mast! It's starting to look more like a ship.
