About
The Hitchin' Post. Four un-assuming, Old West-style horse hitching posts have been placed around the Man for Burners to have a waypoint to meet up, hook up or engage in a Photo op. Their locations are intentional - to illustrate two playa aligned celestial moments with the Man, while also noting the seasons of the Axis Mundi Tree. Two Hitchin' Posts acknowledge the default world habit of human scheduling. It may even make you Curiouser and Curiouser - You'll figure it out. A couple of hints include "meet you at High Noon", or "lets hook up at Midnight". Go Hitch your Burn - Regards CP + MM
