Location: Black Rock City, NV
Weather: Mostly sunny, windy

Dear Black Rock City,
We did well today, quickly picking up where we left off on the blocks 7:00 HI, IJ, JK, KL toward 10:00 but then ran smack dab into a bit of turbulence between 8:00 and 9:30 with a few large blocks of Yellow and some Red.
Then the winds came, sporadically rolling dust down the 6:00 to 10:00 side of the city during an otherwise beautiful day.
The Line Sweeps shifted to the 2:00 side where it was sunny and clear, starting at 1:45 Esplanade-A, AB, BC where it was Green right up until the end of the day.
Although the large swaths of Yellow on the back blocks were concerning, our spirits remain high and our outlook is good.
Here is a snapshot of the MOOP Map after day 2, presented by our scribes Belledozer and Wee Heavy back in sunny Gerlach.
DA
P.S.
As always, the MOOP Map is a work in progress and a final hi-res version will be made available only after we’ve completed our work on the playa, reviewed all of our data, and verified that all of the Theme Camps are in their final correct placement.
If you are the official leader/contact of a theme camp and would like to request a MOOP Report you can do so by filling out a MOOP Report Request Form. Due to high demand from Green camps with a little bit of Red, priority will be given to Red camps.
LEAVE NO TRACE

How’s the abandoned bike situation this year?
Report comment
90% ravers. Less moop?
When I left on Wednesday after the burn I saw a lot more abandoned moop that the map is showing – like geo domes half pulled down. Bags of trash, etc.
Report comment
Those get picked up by the Trash Train before Resto begins. I think they get factored into the overall moop map later on.
Report comment
A 747, and no one at BMorg asked them if they had a plan to remove it? This is 50% Bmorg’s liability and should count as moop against next year’s permit if they can’t get it off the playa before the rain comes.
Report comment
you need to update your files. I suggest you read true story of 747 from the Reno paper.
HINT: like the OMG THERE ARE 1000s OF ABANDONED BIKES story last year, the initial media reports were just a bit wrong.

Would it be possible to link to a higher resolution map image so we can see the details better? Thank you guys for all the work!

Due to high demand from Green camps with a little bit of Red, priority will be given to Red camps.
