Former acting Solicitor General describes 'harrowing' hike out of mud-bound Burning Man festival

By now you've probably heard about the weather-induced chaos at the annual Burning Man music and arts festival (Twitchy told you about it here).

What you may not be aware of is the astonishing heroics of one festival-goer as he made the grueling journey out of what is arguably one of the most privileged events of the year:

Heartbreaking.

He also had some advice for those considering undertaking this perilous journey:

Down to your ankle??? Imagine the horror.

Listen, of course we're glad that he made it out alive. We're just not real big fans of people putting themselves in situations and then acting like they did a thing by getting out of them.

And when you've lost Charlotte Clymer? It might just be time to give it a rest.
