Spent the afternoon cleaning (deplayafying) inside the RV.  Got most of the leather cleaned and conditioned, scrubbed down all the cabinets and non-papered walls in the bathroom and hallway, and I opened up the Fantastic fan and cleaned the blades and the screen.  It's amazing just how much of that stuff sticks to everything!  I really am going to have to powerwash the engine and undercarriage with vinegar.  Heck, I'm sure the whole thing could use it a couple of times.
The outside got it's first rain bath since leaving the playa, it rained for several hours this afternoon.  Still needs a really good wash but I'm sure there was a nice stream of Burning Man remnants flowing down the street this afternoon.
Anyway, feels good to still be making progress on the moving in even though I'm paused on the moving around part.  I'll be weighing the anchor on Monday or Tuesday, might go spend one night at a campground to top off the batteries and dump/clean the tanks, who knows how long I might be in Rippon.
My cousin Karen is coming to visit tomorrow.  We're making Ice Cream.  I'm sure I will have put on 20 pounds in my 2 weeks here.  Which reminds me, there are Krispy Kremes.  Chow.

  1. I'm so excited to follow your blog! Tell me how the name came about - Vogue (I must have missed the memo).

    So much work, cleaning the RV. I often fantasize about how to make the trip to Burning Man easier. truth is, there is no such way. but what if we could hire someone to clean it - a burner that would know how to do it correctly and would do a great job. what would that be worth?

    Much love from monkeyME to CeleryYOU xoxo

    1. Um... Looks down, kicks dirt... The RV is a Vogue. A 1994 Mitchell Vogue Prima Vista to be specific.
      There are places in and around Reno that I hear specialize in the post-playa cleaning. They are quite expensive (I've heard upwards of a grand) but now that I'm seeing all the places it got to I could see how it would be worth it. Once I'm sure she goes, I'll find a place to steam clean (or pressure wash, whichever they do) the engine and the undercarriage. There's just such a long to do list. :)
