Burning Man exodus: Drone video shows thousands of vehicles trying to leave muddy desert festival

Drone video captured an exodus of vehicles leaving the site of Burning Man after organizers reopened the road leading out of the remote Nevada desert festival.

Unexpected rain turned the weeklong, annual counterculture arts festival into a muddy nightmare. For days, up to 70,000 people were ordered to stay put and conserve food and water as officials closed the roads, requiring vehicles to stay put.

When the road finally reopened, a long line of vehicles snaked through the desert, inching along in an epic traffic jam as event organizers urged drivers to take it slowly on Monday and consider delaying their departure until Tuesday to reduce traffic.
