I've vaguely heard of the Black Rock Desert before, because I've thought of deserts to visit. I never chose that one, though. Doing another desert trip this year, and looking at that one again. Can you sway me in that direction?

The Black Rock Desert is in the northern Nevada section of the Great Basin and has a dry lakebed. It is also where burning man is held.

Right, I thought Burning Man was held there! I knew I was right. So, could you tell me more about Burning Man? What's so interesting about it?

THe Burning Man event is typically described as an experiment in community and art. It is run by adhering to 10 main principles including leaving no trace after they leave.

I see... that does sound a little interesting. Where did it start, or who started it and why?

The first one was actually held in 1986 on Bakers Beach in San Francisco. And was started as a gathering of friends.
