Access in and out of the Nevada desert is closed as muddy roads are deemed undrivable and festivalgoers are confined to their camps.
More than 73,000 attendees at the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City, Nevada, are confined to their camps after storms turned the event grounds into an undrivable, muddy mess.
"The gate and airport in and out of Black Rock City remain closed. Ingress and egress are halted until further notice. No driving is permitted except emergency vehicles. If you are in BRC, conserve food, water, and fuel, and shelter in a warm, safe space," a Burning Man Traffic account posted on X. Tens of thousands of burners gather for the event every year to create a"temporary metropolis" in the Nevada desert. The Burning Man organization describes it as"a global ecosystem of artists, makers, and community organizers who co-create art, events, and local initiatives around the world." Videos circulating on social media show the mushy, sticky campgrounds.
