One death is being investigated at the counterculture festival in Nevada.
Muddy roads that left tens of thousands of partygoers stranded for days at the Burning Man festival had dried up enough by Monday afternoon to allow them to begin their exodus from the northern Nevada desert.
“We are a little bit dirty and muddy but spirits are high. The party still going,” said Scott London, a southern California photographer, adding that the travel limitations offered “a view of Burning Man that a lot of us don’t get to see”. President Joe Biden told reporters in Delaware on Sunday that he was aware of the situation at Burning Man, including the death, and the White House was in touch with local authorities.
But Bishop, who travelled from Boston for her second Burning Man, said spirits were still high at the festival when they had left. Most people she spoke with said they planned to stay for the ceremonial burns.
