@bhhaskin I really wish people would avoid driving on wet back country roads. It just makes a mess of things. I get that you sometimes get caught.
@elaterite yeah that's pretty much what happened here everyone got caught out.
@bhhaskin I'm old enough to remember the playa before Burning Man. It use to be as hard as concrete & there were only three "roads." One went up to Soldier Meadows, one to the Black Rock itself, & one to Sulfur. There was a stray track or two where people drove off willy-nilly, but other than that, it was pretty pristine. Also, Native artifacts around the perimeter of the playa use to be as thick as cigarette butts were in a '60s urban area. Now the playa is ankle deep in dust. :/
