In the Beginning

What a ride it was. We embarked on this journey long ago... in a galaxy... WAIT sorry, got caught up in the moment. Needless to say this was an incredible ride filled with many extremes of emotion. Arriving on the playa Saturday night we had a dream that was about to come to fruition. Little did we know that our challenge had just begun.

We began building the supports and the ball on Sunday afternoon after the shade structure was complete, (and despite warnings of thunderstorms). It took help from neighbors all around to lift the "bowl" up the side of the bus and put it in to the support. After loosing my shit on Dan and Pods about working into the night while exhausted (and concerned the at the week would be consumed with the construction of the sphere, which we had no idea how we were going to complete), this is what the barely construction sphere looked like the next morning.


What began next was a series of hurdles to complete the sphere construction. To begin we simply spun the sphere and used ladders to add additional pieces.
