Playa De La Mena

[Catherin Bergan]

Whatwe now know as the Black Rock Desert is actually the prehistoric lakebed of Lake Lahontan. What remains is a fine, dried silt that is so high in alkaline pH, it is corrosive. Likened more to flour than dirt, playa dust is so pervasive that no nook, cranny or otherwise can escape its touch.

A common skin condition that affects the feet and hands and can be prevented by simply wearing shoes. Caused by prolonged exposure to the alkaline dust, the skin becomes dry and cracked and sometimes lasts for weeks after the event. Playa foot/hand can be treated with a mild acid solution such as vinegar diluted with water or lime juice, followed by a healthy slathering of moisturizer.

Twinges of discomfort felt in the mind, body and spirit after returning to the default world from Burning Man. The several regional Burning Man decompression parties that take place following the event are organized to remedy these so-called reality bends.

A fence that demarcates the outermost boundary of Black Rock City and catches any scraps of MOOP that may fly into the desert that lies beyond. Also known for the ongoing Burning Man rumor/gag that Daft Punk is playing at the trash fence.
