Lollllllll. A harrowing ordeal. A flat, 6 mile hike through some mud and maybe some light rain. In other words, what my 5 year old did this morning on our hike through the southern Apps.
What a bunch of charmin-soft goofballs. 🤣

You clowns have never run cross country in muddy conditions through soaked silty/sandy soil. That type of mud doesn't come off your shoes, its like glue, and it gets to 1-2 inches thick on the bottom. In cross country that courses are adjusted to avoid the really ugly parts where it is possible to sink in the mud up to your knees.
I have been in a mud-to-knees situation, and what is known as a Hash House "run". It happens suddenly. You are slogging with your feet sinking several inches each step, then you hit a spot where you are suddenly over a foot deep. One of Hashers went in passed his knees, as hard as he tried he could not get his foot out until he sacrificed his running shoe.
Jim Walmsley could've been the guy to lead 70 000 hippies out of the desert - just like Moses did in his day. Big opportunity missed. He could've been a God to these people in need.

He would have but he was busy with other things this weekend.
Yeah, he was probably tired as hell from 9 days of endless partying and having sex with multiple hot females, while you, sitting at home typing on LRC, seem to be exhausted from wacking off to anime so much that your right hand got stuck on the "L" key.
while I agree with your sentiment, you'd be surprised how little sex goes on at burns. Most people are too dirty/tired/altered to get it on
I understand “harrowing” may be an exaggeration but it is also relative. If you’re not used to moving in the outdoors and unprepared, walking those 6 miles in that kind of mud may be really slow going.

Just imagine the stench.
I may be the first poster in the area. While I have never Burned and specifically plan to avoid it, I am generally reminded of it this time of year. Cars completely covered in dust to the point that you can't tell their colors make their way to I-80. Hotels in Reno have security at all doors watching for the shockingly unwashed - the kind that leave a trail like Pig Pen. I have seen them waiting there with an air compressor to blow off bodies and baggage.
So yeah, it is a filth fest. And, usually, hot. A week of neither shower nor shade. But this time around, it must have been, well.... not as bad. We've had cool, cloudy weather. I think the mud is less bad than the dust. It would have been the year to go if you're into that kind of thing.
Saw the article and agree with you OP. I've been in a few situations over the years where I've been stranded or faced with a walk for some reason or other, and I always just do it, maybe even jog some/all of the distance. The idea that 6 miles is "harrowing" in anything other than the Himalayas or something is laughable.
The mud in the desert is very different than what you might have to deal with on the east coast or in an alpine environment. The soil is high alkaline because it is a dried up lake bed. When it gets wet, the soil is very sticky and will cake on your shoes. It can also irritate your skin. Six miles of stomping through that stuff is going to be very hard.

Today's fat youth is not interested in sex nor do they know how to connect with real humans in the physical world. I'm so thankful I grew up before tech addiction exploded.

It was an incredibly harrowing 6 mile hike at midnight through heavy and slippery mud, but I got safely out of Burning Man. Never been before and it was fantastic (with brilliant art and fabulous music)…except the ending. pic.twitter.com/jhxsOfNp5y
Some of you, like me, would be blown away on the source of the tweet. Neal Katyal is one of the top supreme court advocates in the country, and certainly one of the best legal writers around. It was his first burning man. Of f*&king course someone like him would call it "harrowing." He can't help himself.
I'm taking this as a sign that Burning Man's gone too mainstream.
