Other Playa Yurts

The main impetus for my yurt project is to bring it to Burning Man. After last year I was thinking about buying a geodesic dome until my friend Alexis told me I should just make a yurt instead. As many people as I meet now who are familiar with yurts, I am so surprised it was the first time I had heard of them. Obsession came on very quickly. Fast forward nine months and I'm finally heeding the fabulous advice of Alexis.

Anyway, I was certain my yurt wouldn't be the first one on the playa but it wasn't until tonight that I stumbled upon examples of those who came before. Very cool stuff, but I was relieved to notice that the traditional style I'm going for wasn't represented. Perhaps I am breaking new ground in some small way.
