The current state of the Burning Man event site.

Normally, post festival, the tear down/clean-up process goes until October 6th, at which point the BLM comes in and inspects the land, and most of the clean-up crew finally goes home.
A few people stay out to clean and repair the mobile home park where we live pre and post event (we actually live on the playa for a month surrounding the event, but that leaves two months of work where we need places to stay).
At any rate, two days before inspection this year, the rains came to the area.
This picture was taken yesterday:
That's my friend, and direct coworker Jalapena.
There's still a crew out there, trying to pick up whatever mess they can, only now they are doing it in the midst of a 3/4 mile wide, 20 odd mile long, migrating lake, on top of virtually impassable clay mud.
For some reason, I'm totally jealous that I'm not there.
