A lovely year. An easy build which finished early, then we were checking out the early playa and
found this tree that needed help. So we helped. All night. And then the next day. And the
next few days after that, helping build and debug network/electrical problems. Because it was
the Tree of Tenere, and it was one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've seen.

We became a part
of the Tree of Tenere, and it was fucking amazing.

It was gorgeous
and a highlight of the burn.
