Black Rock Desert, Nevada | An unusual late-summer storm has turned a week-long counterculture festival into a sloppy mess. Tens of thousands of partygoers are stuck in foot-deep mud with no working toilets in the northern Nevada desert. But some Burning Man revellers said their spirits remained unbroken.
“We are a little bit dirty and muddy but spirits are high – the party still going,” said Scott London, a Southern California photographer, adding the travel limitations offered “a view of Burning Man that a lot of us don’t get to see”.
