      it is owned and controlled by a mega corp now.
      after the stupidity lady year the oil protesters blocking a state hwy. for hrs.
      do to the wet weather it should have been canceled out right. the damaged done to the plya will take decades for mother to fix.
      far too many people there all the trash. and human animal by products left behind.
      it is to much on the local area to Handel. but the park likes it cause they get a LOT of money out of it.
      i say good i hope the money people lose there shirts on this.
      then maybe in a couple years it will be NEVERMORE.
      the people to go there are hated in every city town around the way in and out.
      signs go up NO BURNING MAN people allowed here. as after a couple werks there all the dirt ( last year mud) they bring in. people bathing in restrooms. fouling them up, keeping other customers from using them. heck even wash your self car washes close during this time.
      plugged up sewer systems. the trash dumped at dumpsters. on and on.
      hurts everybody all the way into sacramento ca.

    $575 for a ticket, then RV rental and if you're not west coast a flight to that region. you're looking at minimum $1.5k probably closer to $2k - that's just absurd and out of range for lots of people barely getting by
