Our camp got its name from its close associated with noses and fish. The nose portion refers to our two-story replica of Buckminster Fuller's nose, done as a geodesic. We call it the Desert Nose.

The fish portion refers to the Fishmobile, the Fishtank, the Fishcycle , 3na (a coolneon Jellyfish) and L0L (a coolneon sea anemone, known to harbor clown fish and to eat fish). And, of course, several of us own and wear fish hats.

The Fishmobile was decomissioned in 2004, but in its place is the Fishtank, a 1986s Dodge Ram 3500 painted blue and covered in paintings of fish.

Beginning in 2005 we have stopped bringing the Desert Nose. It takes 3 full days of labor to set up the Desert Nose. Our new dome (2v, 28' diameter) takes three hours to set up and cover. This means we no longer require early arrival. The nose required us to have early arrival or we couldn't get it set up in time for the opening of Burning Man -- a requirement for Theme Camps.

But, we all still bring our own, personal noses. We use them to discover fun things to do and to find the porta-potties (follow your nose), and to avoid people's evaporation pools (don't follow your nose).
