Episode 27 the Season Premiere is out now. Meet Michael Mikel (aka Danger Ranger) one of the earliest founding members of Burning Man. He first encountered the Cacophany Society in 1986 and got hooked. In 1988 he showed up at Baker beach at Larry Harvey’s beach burn. In 1990 when the park police shut down the Baker beach “Man burns” Michael helped to convince Larry to bring the Man to the Black Rock Desert for the Cacophany Society’s “Zone Trip”. Michael becomes “Danger Ranger” when he forms the first iteration of the Black Rock Rangers (which formed to aid participants who got lost in the desert). Over the years he is one of the driving forces behind the growth and evolution of Burning Man as one of the main founders. He is still a beloved if sometimes controversial figure in the burner community to this day. The shadow is very long on Michael and he describes the strong influence Burning Man has had on him over a considerable part of his life and why he is compelled to come back again and again.
