NEVADA – Tens of thousands of partygoers were still stranded Monday morning in the northern Nevada Desert after a late-summer storm turned a week-long counter-culture fest “Burning man” into a mud pit.

Organizers closed the festival to vehicles after more than half an inch of rain on Friday drenched the black rock desert.

The annual gathering attracts nearly 80,000 artists, musicians and activists for a mix of wilderness camping and avant-garde performances.

At least one fatality has been reported at the festival, but burning man organizers said the death of a man in his 40s was not weather-related.
