Former NASCAR driver turned commentator Danica Patrick was one of the 70,000 living under terrible conditions at Burning Man.
Over the weekend, tens of thousands of people were stuck at the annual festival in the Nevada desert due to heavy rains causing muddy conditions at the campsite.

Burning Man’s estimated 70,000-plus attendees were isolated at the venue known as Black Rock City as rain returned Sunday and closed roads, muddy campgrounds, and one reported death darkened the day.
Saturday night, the party had seemed all but over as organizers said their main focus was getting people out. “Most Festival operations have been halted or significantly delayed,” the Pershing County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Organizers under the nonprofit project planned an orderly exit Monday, which is the last day of the event, and have so far turned down help from the Nevada National Guard, she said.
Patrick revealed she was at Burning Man and showed off some of her outfits from the festival.
“There is no better place than burning man to wear whatever you want. Everyone’s style is celebrated and part of the fun of the week. 🙌🏼”
