People/Media making this out to be a bigger deal than it is. 70K people in the desert, there's bound to be a few numbnuts. Those numbnuts did numbnuts things and tried to drive in the mud. The others jus chilled at their camps and continued to have a good time. Things dried out by Monday and people are heading home as we speak.
This event is local to me and have lots of friends that attend. It's not some idyllic event, its just people out partying in the desert.
