The prepping of Pelican Island for the main event.
Many thanks to following who mowed and trimmed this beast of an island.
Trey Tabor
Gary McGinnity
Jacob Macias
Here’s the beginning of the prep.
Jacob Macias over at the edge.
Spanky used up 3 tanks of gas to do the job.
Trey Tabor is the fastest on the this piece of equipment. He went through several spools of wire.
Trey and Jacob are in complete harmony. Jacobs’s mower in the background bogged down several times but we couldn’t have gotten the job done without his trusty mower.
Look at that grass mowed down. Trey Tabor is getting the fire pit ready for the Burning Man.
The Palapa
She’s all done now. Now it’s Paul Auger’s turn to put his pest control treatment on the island.
The island is and an island now.

The ride home.
I must say we had a very successful Burning Man Island Party event. The weather was perfect for the event especially having been rained out last month. Steven “D.J.” Chen, you rocked the island with your DJ set up. You had a lot of folks dancing to the beat. Paul “Admiral” Ruhl, you are my MVP candidate for the many contributions you made. Thanks to all the folks that brought food and drinks. We didn’t have any incidents with boats, island residents, dogs, cats, people, sharks, flying fish, and rodents. This event is made possible by our late, great past President, Andy Butchard pictured below.
He would have this event to carry on.
Many thanks to these individuals who came out and made this event possible
