haha, yes of course all the stuff is still there! I just didn't photograph it! plenty of other people did look at it and even photograph it. I just like to look at the parts that other people don't look at. I talked to one BLM guy, but apart from that no visible law enforcement.
There is something for everyone at buring man. The experience that I had and what I looked at probably would not seem fun to many other people - that is radical self expression (5th principle) - I met someone who was part of a team that wrote a daily newspaper for BM (a huge amount of work, they said) there is a volentare postal service.
You can walk past a thousand people having a great time, and not want to go to that party. I could care less about big things with shiny flashing lights like the Mayan Warrior. BM is big enough to have it's own main stream and it's own alternative culture inside of it.
At one point, I saw this massive fiberglass tree with glowing LED leaves, it really bummed me out. It was too perfect, but still not as good as an ordinary tree. It just seemed like a waste of time and effort (and money) but then I got on a ramshackle pirate ship art car and someone was nice to me and then I was having a great time again! (more on the social structures inherent and evident in art cars later!)
