In 2024 we rented a 16' box truck which was not too full so we have not had to institute official limits on what you can and can't bring. - It makes a stop in Reno for people getting on and off there. - It takes out camp trash which includes build team trash and kitchen trash, but no camper trash (campers are responsible for their own moop). |
Who is demooping your item prior to being loaded on the truck? Don’t bring unnecessary MOOP to playa!
#### Loading the truck The truck will leave from San Francisco, with a stop in Reno. Make sure you bring your items during the loading time.| **In San Francisco** | **In Reno** |
| - Bring your items at the loading location in San Francisco in the morning of the Friday before the event **- Preferred method** - You can also ship your items to a SF Turtle in advance, and ask them nicely if they can take care of loading your items for you (please arrange with them prior shipping). | - Bring your items at the loading location in Reno in the evening of the Friday before the event or in the morning of the Saturday before the event **- Preferred method** - You can also ship your items to a locker in Reno and ask nicely a Turtle there if they can take care of loading your items for you (please arrange with them prior shipping). *Tip: If you plan to be in Reno on Saturday before the event or earlier, join us while we load the truck!* |
Have you thought about how you will return your items home (or dispose of them)?
Please keep in mind that the truck will not be able to bypass the traffic of the Exodus, also we will arrive in Reno way after the Turtle Bus! We will also have to dispose of the garbage. Bottom line, if you plan to leave Reno or San Francisco right after you step outside of the bus, please make some arrangements with a local Turtle in advance to take care of your items. ## Typical schedule Here's a typical schedule based on 2024: **Before the event**| Friday | Saturday |
