Thanks for the look see, I have seen them on the net before, and did wonder if anything was worth that kind of time and weather conditions. Not that I have the means to get out there any time in the future.
So they were able to clean up the burnt wood piles and all? That must have taken a bit of effort.

Yes, every last bit of anything that wasn't there before Burning Man will be removed. A cleanup crew literally sweeps the entire area in a very fine grid pattern and cleans up every last bit...even picking up sequins with tweezers. A truly amazing effort IMO. I haven't found a report for this year's event (the cleanup is probably still under way) but you can learn about the details of the Afterburn efforts in previous years here: http://afterburn.burningman.com, and specifically about last year's cleanup effort here: http://afterburn.burningman.com/06/dpw/setup_cleanup.html
