I have come in late on this thread, but I am in Salt lake City if the
kids need any support. 801-521-3335
I have not even heard of this shop they are at-hope all works out
well- I do have a brand new BD water pump in my parts stash if they
need it.
Burning Man address 9:30 & G streets is my old neighborhood (9:35 & E
Streets)- She is out on the edge of the suburbs in a fairly tame area
if it remains the same year after year? LOL!
BM is about a 9-10 hour drive across NV from SLC, so hopefully
Miguel's daughter will be there by tonite in time for the 1st
evening's activities, which will go till next Sunday morning +-!
YMMV,
Mr. BZ- aka Showerman
