You guys ever heard of Burning Man?

[peter hillman]

It's an annual event a few miles out in the desert from here. No I've never been, but my sister has, she came home early due to relentless dust storms. See for yourself.

I see pictures from that event every year.
I think if I went, I would get annoyed and leave.
I don't get it, what's the point?

what's the point?

A really bad camping trip is all I can see.

I am glad to hear that they try to leave no trace of their activities after they are done though.

I am glad I didn't go.

"They" meaning the organizers, part of their special use permit. They haul out TONS of trash and debris every year. A lot of those 'art' cars barely make it out there and some get left behind as scrap. Then the rest areas along the route get overloaded with trash, it's a mess sometimes but it brings huge revenue to our city. But yes in the end, there is no trace.
