LOL. You just know that Ms. Billionaire repaired to the nearest Ritz-Carlton or Hilton (or her luxury RV) when the cameras stopped rolling for day/evening.
That sounds wonderful, but I’ve always hated waking up with a cold butt on that first trip to the bathroom.
Even black folk have standards.
The wife and I have visited numerous western nps and nms in the last decade and more. We just returned from another two week trip out west. I could count the numbers of black people at those parks and monuments on both hands and still have a few fingers left.
I was just reading something - I think it was a rookie football player (black guy) that was talking about growing up. Something to the effect of “I was a lifeguard as a teen. My younger brother and sister were good swimmers too. But they would be in the pool that I would be at and would always pretend to be drowning. You know - black folks can’t swim and all that.”
I worked in Wyoming at one time on the oil rigs. A boss explained why so few black people in Wyoming. “They don’t like the wind.” (I must be part black!)
I could probably float a lot better today (ha ha), but do not have the desire to swim anymore.
You could likely float then, but your body reached equilibrium several feet under the surface and it just felt like you were going to sink like a rock. Low body fat and high bone density do make it more difficult. Obese women float on the surface particularly easily. Muscular, athletic people not so much.
10 below outside,73 degrees in the tent.Our dogs love winter camping too.(Actually they love camping any time of the year.)
The last one I went to was up at Loring AF base in Limestone, ME... having seen the portapotties at these events previously... on day 2, overflowing about a good 12” above the seat with feces and toiletpaper... we took my buddy’s dad’s RV for the private toilet alone.
I see what you did there!

Camped at a 3-day 12,000 person event once. Yep, at the end of the day the porta johns were overflowing and disgusting. We learned on the first day that the fleet of pumpers arrived at 7:00am each morning and an hour later the johns were clean, tidy and dry which is when we took advantage of them.
Room service. Camping means Room Service!
Have had bone density tests. I have really dense bones. I never could float So white I reflect.

Nuthin new brutha...sigh....
“Burning Man founder: ‘Black folks don’t like to camp as much as white folks’”
If true, that means black folks have got more sense than white folks, at least concerning the wonderfulness of “camping” outdoors.
Well, ‘camping’ on the playa and being in a big bucks RV for a week, I’d have to pick the RV. Lots of vehicles back in town after a week out there. They are real easy to spot.
Blantons & Antica Vermouth - on specially occasions - we call them Momhattans here. Typically using Knob and Noilly Pratt.
I’ll have to try the Antica. Thank you.
