Black Rock Desert, Nevada | Tens of thousands of partygoers stranded at the Burning Man counterculture festival by a late summer storm hoped muddy roads would reopen on Monday (Tuesday AEST) and allow them to begin their exodus from the northern Nevada desert.
Event organisers said in the morning that it was still too wet for a safe mass departure of RVs and other vehicles but hoped traffic could begin flowing later in the day with the help of sunny and mostly clear skies – even as they asked revellers to delay their exit to ease traffic on the main road.
