You might mock the muddied attendees at Burning Man, but their experience reflects the plight of nature lovers elsewhere cut off from wilderness by extreme weather.
at the Burning Man festival last week prompted a few smirks from those watching from afar. After all, when you pay handsomely for the patina of rugged self-reliance and end up needing rescuers when the rain falls and the porta-potties overflow, don’t expect an outpouring of sympathy.
But as tempting as it is to mock Silicon Valley glampers frolicking in the northwest Nevada desert, I see a bit of myself reflected in these muddied “Burners.” I, too, crave wilderness time, and I, too, have been increasingly thwarted by extreme weather. So have other nature-loving Californians who take reliable access to mountains, deserts and beaches as their birthright. The big cities where most of us live may, for the most part, seem to be holding up against climate change. But our natural spaces and the roads and trails that connect us to them are taking a beating.
