Burning Man is known to test the resilience of the attendees, but this year set a new record. Just days after the festival started, torrential rain and thunderstorms created a mud pit out of the remote Nevada's Black Rock Desert. Officials issued a "shelter in place" warning on Saturday, but some people chose to hike out on foot. Videos show car tires completely stuck in this thick, heavy mud. Festivalgoers -- called "burners" in this case -- were covering their feet with plastic bags to keep the mud from weighing them down. On Monday when the rain let up, some people chose to hike the six miles out of the desert, but others are hunkering down and trying to ride it out. The pinnacle moment of the Burning Man festival is the burning of the wooden effigy that's shaped like a man. Plenty of people are sticking around in hopes of seeing the infamous burn, which was rescheduled to take place Monday night after officials could not transport fire equipment through the mud.
