Had a great day reconnecting with my father and hiking to one of my favorite spots in Mt Shasta, Heart Lake. It overlooks Castle Lake and the view of Black Butte and Mt Shasta couldn't be beat. We came up to this place to record our addition to the 'Multiverse Bubble Skipping' Virtual Burning Man Processional Band project. We prepare for the playa each year hiking and biking to get in shape and also to get used to the heat of the desert. This was a good ritual remembering those times and reconnecting with the set and setting to our annual pilgrimage to the playa. 

On the hike we remembered how we used to hike during Boy Scout trips and how we used to gallop down the hillside at points. So it was only fitting when MacGyver (my fathers Playa name) started to gallop down the mountain we christened him with the addition to his playa name. Here is to the magic and collective effervescence that we experience at Black Rock City.
