Burning Man 2011, Monday

Biking on the playa after much of the art has been taken down or burned...




Robbie


Remaining wood and trash from camps and art pieces are burned in big containers on the playa.




Burning Man is officially a "leave no trace" event and so after the structures are burned, the playa earth is raked to pick up all MOOP (matter out of place).




Packing up the playa bikes


To spread out the impact of dumping water onto the dry playa surface, Glen pours out extra water through a watering can while biking in circles.




After waiting out for the huge exodus of vehicles leaving the site all Sunday night and Monday, we left early Tuesday morning with no traffic for a drive in Glen's VW bus back to San Francisco.
