It's not a music festival, and this has never happened before; the event takes place in an extremely arid desert. Normally one struggles with heat, dust, and wind - not mud.
Getting stuck for hours trying to leave is normal, but that's due to the narrowness of the remote desert highway which offers the only exit.
- wcoenen 3y ago> this has never happened before; the event takes place in an extremely arid desert This doesn't seem to be true. Just Google something like "burning man mud" and filter to see results from before this year. Example from 2014 below https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/burning-man-muddy-mess/ https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/burning-man-...
- marssaxman 3y agoI suppose it is all in the definitions. Yes, it has rained before, and 2014 had a legendary rainstorm: but this year we have had multiple rainstorms, wet day after wet day with no chance to dry out in between. It has felt like a new experience. Today it is sunny and warm, so the mud is starting to dry out, and things are starting to move. We'll probably get on the road tomorrow.
