The Man Burns on Schedule
At the summer solstice of 1986, two San Francisco men, Larry Harvey and Jerry James, dragged an eight-foot wooden figure down the sand at Baker Beach, doused it, and set it on fire. A few dozen strangers came up the beach toward the light. Somebody played a song. By Harvey's own retelling, a woman ran forward and held the burning figure's hand. There was no gate, no ticket, no name on anything, no plan for a second year. The fire was the entire production, free to attend, free to leave, over when the embers said so. Every question anyone now asks about Burning Man is a question about the distance from that evening. […]https://bolesblogs.com/2026/09/10/the-man-burns-on-schedule/

Week long trip to Black Rock Desert coming up in a week’s time. There will be no burning men (hopefully, probably) but it should be an adventure, with ~400 miles of trails planned out. #BlackRockDesert #Nevada #Overland

CW: Long thread/4
tl;dr:
* Bad weather is normal at Burning Man (it's a feature, not a bug);
* Mostly burners leapt to the occasion, which is what people almost always do in disaster situations;
* This is the second Burning Man #HeavyWeather year in a row;
* The #ClimateEmergency is tipping the #BlackRockDesert from "extremely challenging" to "impossible";
* This isn't the last event, place and tradition that will have to be radically reconsidered in light of the climate emergency;

I've always been fascinated and inspired by old USGS maps of the American west, especially the places where I grew up
Here's an 1886 version of Granite Range, NV, and mine-- a USGS-inspired map incorporating the current landscape and more accurate and detailed terrain

Burning Man has long had a somewhat contentious relationship with locals living in Gerlach, NV, at the edge of the playa.
But the fight against a green energy project planned for the Black Rock Desert is bringing together these two unlikely allies.
