Burning Man attendees are expected to 'leave no trace,' but people fleeing the mud and rain left abandoned vehicles, furniture, tents, and trash

• Burning Man attendees are returning home and local businesses are having to manage leftover mess.
• Heavy rain meant burners trudged through miles of mud, making the "leaving no trace" tenet hard to follow.
• Car washes are refusing to clean mud-caked cars, and business owners are guarding their trash cans.
