StumbleBurning Man festival looks for site
Thursday, Feb. 26, 1998 | 9:20 a.m.
Festival Founder Larry Harvey said he was told that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management denied the organization's permit to hold the arts and entertainment gathering on public land in the Black Rock Desert near Gerlach.
Harvey said he's now looking at private sites near Gerlach and plans to meet with leaders of the Pyramid Lake Paiute Indians to discuss holding the festival on tribal land.
Organizers would still need a permit from Washoe County.
Commissioners last year approved the gathering, but imposed more than 100 health and safety conditions that organizers complained were excessive and costly.
