Rain man! Burning Man is a washout with organizers forced to close the gate into the site for final weekend as torrential downpours turn usually bone dry desert into a slippery 'muddy paste'

I forsee a “Lord of the Flies” situation. Or maybe a lord of the fleas.

Hopefully this is the last burning man, we don’t need this type of drug festival. Here in Reno, we’re getting a great downpour right now, and according to the weather will have snow in the Mountains tonight. Definitely an unusual summer last weekend, traveling over to Great Basin National Park, it was green everywhere.

How long does the travel ban remain in place?

Cheetos & Mt. Dew supplies start running out, could get ugly on the playa.

We never get rain here in south central Kansas. But plenty of 100+ degree weather.

I’m not an expert in that type of environment, but I would suspect that the more vehicles that have to get out, the dryer the roads have to be. I’ve had my own experiences in mud, and while the first vehicle made it through just fine, the second one definitely struggled and did more damage. Luckily, it was just a muddy spot in a construction area where if something got stuck We had other machines in nearby dry ground to pull the stock one out.
