TR News: Radical logistics in the heavy traffic of the Burning Man Festival

Each summer, tens of thousands of people journey to the Nevada desert by land and by air to participate in a unique event. For one week, the volume of traffic on nearby desert roads and at an otherwise sleepy airport rivals the operational volume at some of the largest highways and commercial airports in the country.

A modern-day Brigadoon—the mythical Scottish town that magically appears and disappears once every 100 years—the event is known as the Burning Man Festival in Nevada. It's the subject of the cover feature in TR News magazine, Number 325, January-February 2020.
