Compared to the Rainbow Gathering, the Burning Man people are quite civilized. They go out in the middle of the desert, not the national forest, and they clean up their mess when they are done.

I don't live in Gerlach, the closest town to Burning Man, but unless they want it shut down I don't really see a problem with them.

The only negative most of Northern Nevada gets to see is the trail of dirty people that leave Burning Man and immediately descend on the restaurants of Reno on their way back to California.

A lot less problems than the gang bangers that show up for Hot August Nights the last few years.

LOL! Nugget anyone? How about we ship the ows’rs up there to occupy burning man? They could head out now to get there REAL early. Heck I’d chip in for a bus ticket. One way. Finally the deserted pool on Moana looks nice again.
