It’s got a lot of folks remembering 2023, when heavy rains left thousands stranded in thick mud for days.

Sean Clark+FollowBurning Man 2025: Traffic jams and wild desert windsBurning Man 2025 kicked off with festivalgoers stuck in miles-long traffic jams, only to be hit by fierce desert winds and dust storms once they finally arrived. People waited up to eight hours just to get through the gate, with visibility dropping to near zero as wind gusts reached 55 mph. Despite the chaos, the gate stayed open, and the community spirit shone through as attendees warned each other and secured their camps. For many, braving these extreme conditions is just part of the Burning Man experience. How would you handle hours in the car and a sudden desert storm? #Transportation #BurningMan2025 #FestivalLife00Share
