Trip 33 -- TTTTTITD

22 July 2022 to 8 September 2022

The Train to That Thing in the Desert was a seven-week trip around the United States, mostly by train, between two somewhat frivolous, somewhat nurturing activities: the Scrabble Players Championship in Baltimore and the Burning Man event in the desert north of Reno.

Accompanying sights and sounds were posted on Twitter and Instagram.
