The Heaven on Earth community wishes for
you to be free to create art and interact
with others. However, we do have some ground
rules, though we try to have as few as possible.
These are largely to fulfill safety, insurance
and government codes, so that we can continue
to have the event in the future. If you
witness a violation of any of these rules,
feel free to support the safety and viability
of the event and correct the situation yourself.
If you don't feel comfortable with that,
please inform one of the volunteer Rangers/Security
(wearing Ranger shirts) or someone at the
Salon Headquarters.
Bring your own food, water, and shelter.
Portable toilets will be the only amenity
provided. Tolerate and respect your fellow

If you block access, you may have to move
parts of your camp.
Do not cross the event boundary. The property
adjacent to the event is private land.
Once you park your car, stay parked. No
cruising! The ranch is very easy to walk
and it is not necessary to constantly bring
up the dust for everybody to breath.
Participants who leave and return by personal
vehicle may be charged a reentry fee.
If you do need to leave and return due
to emergency, check with the gate when leaving
to arrange for your re-entry.

on car camping and camp placement.
Prohibited Items
No glass! Transfer liquids to reusable
plastic containers or use cans.
No charcoal BBQs, tiki torches, candles,
oil lanterns, fireworks, flares, or explosives
will be permitted (propane stoves and barbeques
are ok). The dry grass and ancient junipers
create an extreme fire hazard if you see
any open flame, please have it extinguished
immediately. Rangers will confiscate open
flame on first warning. We dont want to
risk it
No pets No exceptions! Consider a pet
sitter for the weekend.
No weapons of any kind, no firearms, no

area (see map in event guide for quiet /
loud zones) remember to always bring extra
earplugs!
Sound systems are limited to certain areas
of our event and must be registered in advance
as a theme camp.
Fire Rules (subject
to county/state fire ban)
The state and/or county may issue a comprehensive
burn ban. If so, we will work on a variance,
but can by no means guarantee that we will
be able to burn anything. The fields and
grasses are likely to be dry and flammable.
The county and the state consider violation
of the fire ban a serious criminal offense.
If you violate the ban, you may face legal
repercussions. Take this seriously. Fire
can put the lives and property of many people
at risk.
If fire art is permitted by the authorities,
you still must register your fire art or
fire barrel for pre-approval.
Fire performance must be conducted in
the designated fire performance areas ONLY.
All use of fire must follow these requirements:
With the exception of camp stoves and
gas barbeques, no fires of any kind will
be
Permitted without prior written approval.
No personal campfires, charcoal BBQs,
tiki torches, candles, oil lanterns, fireworks,
flares, or explosives will be permitted.
All materials relating to these items may
be confiscated so please just dont bring
them.
Cooking stoves must be on a level surface
with any dry vegetation within one yard
removed.
All generators, fuel storage, and potential
spark-sources must be placed in areas in
which all dry vegetation has been removed.
Smoking is allowed in designated areas
only. Butts must be disposed in designated
buckets, ashtrays, or personal butt boxes.
Dont throw butts on the ground. They do
not eventually go away and create a very
difficult mess to clean up. If we have a
burn ban in effect, smoking may be restricted
to inside cars. PLEASE respect the extreme
fire danger and the safety of those around
you. Several recent grass fires on site
were started by sparks and raged out of
control for hours.
Violation of the fire rules is grounds
for removal from the event.
Local, State and Federal
Laws
Comport yourself with regard to all local,
state and federal laws as you would in any
municipality. Law enforcement may briefly
appear at the event, but please be respectful
if you see any. They will return your respect.
We wish our very positive interactions with
law enforcement to continue.
Generators
All generators must be sound insulated with
mufflers or fireproof housing.
