The Black Rock Desert Wilderness: Beyond Burning Man 2014
Beyond Burning Man there lies a quiet world attendees never see. Where a city of 66,000 people appears for one week and then vanishes into thin air and leaves no trace, there is an entire collection of wilderness areas which baffle the imagination. A month after Burning Man 2014 ends, The Tourmaster takes you back to the playa and in to the heart of mystery and excitement, once again. See what Leave No Trace is really all about, find out why it's so important and what it means to those who enjoy Black Rock Desert Wilderness the rest of the year. From the Black Rock City site on the playa, in October, The Tourmaster begins a 120-mile off-road odyssey across Nevada Wilderness to discover the Black Rock Desert Wilderness and explore the most remote and isolated lands of The Playa few Burners ever see. So come along and dive head-long into mystery and excitement. This is at once, a celebration of Burning Man's ecological success story and a trail-by-fire discovery of the deepest, most remote and isolated areas of the Black Rock Desert Wilderness.
"On behalf of everyone who uses the Black Rock Desert Wilderness Area the rest of the year, I would like to thank the Burning Man Staff, DPW and the volunteers who make the Leave No Trace Commitment as highly-effective as it is here. Myself and many others, government agents, naturalists, townspeople, have immense respect and gratitude for the monumental effort that is put forth every year, by the Burners, to ensure that others have the opportunity to experience the pristine natural wonders of the playa and the surrounding desert. These folks actually leave the desert cleaner than they found it. And in my travels, I seldom see such excellent stewardship as what is being demonstrated in The Black Rock Wilderness." ~ Tourmaster V-Roy
