Posted in Burningman stuff, Fun things to do, Kissing Fish Whereabouts, around reno with tags on August 27, 2009 by Katrina Olson

I hyperventilate, every time I see a trailer with more than two bikes on the back.  These were the whole three photos that wern’t deleted accidentally today.

The bus is not going to the playa, but they are here to feed the burners on their way.

After our last camping trip, I’ve become obsessed with older, smaller trailers.    They are one of a kind….leading up to a future business plan with a friend soon!

Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry 2009 by katrina olson….no matter WHAT you call them, the festivals are always fun! 

The first time I attended a Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry, there were visions of pieces of meat that looked like liver but light in color.  Thank goodness I never saw them before they were cooked, because I eat them yearly at the Virginia City Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry.  I’ve had them in stews, tacos, eggrolls, eggs, appetizers……….you name it I’ll try it.    This is an event my husband won’t miss, because supposedly they make you a bit more manly having more testosterone in your body.   I keep checking my chest to make sure there are no hairs popping up and so far my voice is a nonstop female voice.  Anyway, the festival is a fun day and Virninia City also host their St. Patrick’s Day parade at noon.  We’ve gone for the past 7 years watching it grow from hardly anybody to huge numbers.  I’m hopng  my husband enters next year, making his awesome XXXXXX  (secret) out of them. 

These are some of the photos from the day….
