Burning Man 2011, Black Rock Desert, Nevada, United States

Michael Mikel, another active Cacophonist, realized that a group unfamiliar with the environment of the dry lake would be helped by knowledgeable persons to ensure they did not get lost in the deep dry lake and risk dehydration and death. He took the name Danger Ranger and created the Black Rock Rangers.
Thus the seed of Black Rock City was germinated, first organized by Law and Mikel, based on Evans's idea, along with Harvey and James: the burning man. It grew by word of mouth alone.
1991 marked the first year that the event had a legal permit with the BLM (the Bureau of Land Management).
