Burning Man organizers don't foresee major changes in 2024 thanks to a hard-won passing grade for cleaning up this year's festival.
Some feared their pledge to “leave no trace” might be too tall of a task after a rare rainstorm turned Nevada's high desert into a muddy quagmire, 110 miles north of Reno, delaying the departure of 80,000 revelers.
Once out, organizers had six weeks to clean up under terms of a federal permit. By the smallest of margins, they passed the test last month, with a few adjustments recommended for the future.
