Hundreds of trucks, RVs and other vehicles are journeying out of the Burning Man festival grounds after heavy rains trapped tens of thousands of people in the makeshift city and surrounded them with ankle-deep mud too thick to drive in.
Event organizers officially lifted a driving ban Monday afternoon and said “exodus operations have officially begun in Black Rock City” – the makeshift city that’s erected annually for the event.
In a desert climate, I’d imagine there is quite a difference.
