For many people, Burning Man is the ultimate bucket list travel destination. The physical event was cancelled last year because of the Coronavirus. With hope, the event will be open for 2021.
I’ve been lucky enough (or maybe foolish enough) to attend Burning Man on five different occasions. It takes a tremendous comittment and a lot of enduring brutal weather to have a successful burn.
If you are thinking of going to the event (the week before Labor Day) in Nevada, you should probably start planning soon. Getting tickets is difficult in the lottery system. Renting RVs that week is insanely expensive. The tent might be a better option (probably 2/3 of burners are sleeping in tents and 1/3 are in RVs).
The following articles provide good information for any of you planning your first burn. Photos taken from my Burning Man adventures.
