I've attached a photo that gives you an idea. (I've also got a
panorama I could  upload, if you want to see more dirt, heh.)   Dale
said they were going to find a way to pack the dirt, so it won't be
quite as shown on the photo.  There are areas peripheral to the main
floor that are covered with asphalt - those areas had pens for animals
when I was there, but I recall Dale saying that those could be
removed.

(Actually, I'll flickr the pix and send a link.)

And I don't think they see themselves shutting down in the usual
sense. They expect people to bring tents, camp, and be active way into
the night. You could theoretically pitch a tent nearby. There's are
other buildings that are enclosed and securable... if you had valuable
stuff that you wouldn't mind lugging nearby, you could probably
arrange to store stuff behind a locked door.
