BLACK ROCK DESERT, Nev. (AP) — Muddy roads flooded by a summer storm that left tens of thousands of partygoers stranded for days at the Burning Man counterculture festival had dried up enough by Monday afternoon to allow them to begin their exodus from the northern Nevada desert.

About two hours after the mass departure began, organizers estimated a wait time of about five hours. Organizers also asked...

It was the first of four Buffett concerts and the first locally by any superstar...
