Burning Man festival-goers trapped in desert as rain turns site to mud

You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …

It’s Saturday, only losers leave before the man burns (Saturday night). If this keeps up through late Sunday then it might start to be a problem. If anything this will keep out straggling weekenders.

The weather-related disruptions have caused suspension of the cleaning and emptying of thousands of portable toilets. Event organizers have said more rain was expected through Sunday before the festivals ends on Monday.

Uh…

The man won’t burn. It is way to wet. It’s now “wet man festival”.
