"Burning Man Organizers Urge Burners to Postpone Local Travel as Gates Remain Closed"

Burning Man organizers are asking set-up crews and campers to delay their travel to the event due to lingering chances of showers and storms. The gate to the event will remain closed until noon Wednesday, and those who attempt to drive to Gerlach will be turned around. Temporary gate closures are not abnormal, and organizers are grateful that the rain did not affect too many people.
