Thank you for the amazing Communal Effort and resilience everyone has shown throughout the last few days. Safe travels home!

Pack your trash out when you leave BRC! Do not leave trash at any unauthorized location, business, or random trash receptacle you find along your way home. Check this website for the list of trash, recycling, and RV dump locations as you head home: burningman.org/event/preparat…

If you need to return to BRC to complete teardown contact Placement, Art, or the DMV before you return - they will provide you information. If you were not affiliated with those depts and were in open camping, please email returntobrc@burningman.org for further instructions.

The wait time to exit BRC is 7 hours and climbing. If you are able to, wait to exit BRC until later tonight or tomorrow, and save yourself the long wait. The man burns in 2 hours! If you do exit, tune into GARS 95.1 for updated information on your way.

If you are able to depart BRC tomorrow 9/5, please do so! Watch the Man Burn tonight (9pm) and the Chapel of Babel burn (12a). Do an extra MOOP sweep (or two) with your campmates. Cook that last tasty, communal meal. There’s a lot of traffic on Gate Road right now.

You might be much happier hanging out in camp with your friends than sitting in a static line of cars for many hours. Wake up refreshed on Tuesday and hit the road then.

The Man burn will happen tonight, Monday 9/4, at 9pm. Chapel of Babel is scheduled to burn at midnight (aka Tuesday 9/5). The Temple burn is scheduled for Tuesday 9/5, at 8pm. These Burns will be available via the Official Burning Man Webcast: burningman.org/live-webcast/
