Tens of thousands of ‘burners’ urged to conserve food and water and shelter in place in Nevada’s Black Rock desert

    Playa means beach, at least in Spanish. Where are you getting *dried up lake" from?

      Landforms

      • Endorheic basin, also known as a sink, alkali flat or sabkha, a desert basin with no outlet which periodically fills with water to form a temporary lake
      • Dry lake, often called a playa in the southwestern United States

      This English definition does come from the Spanish word for “Beach.”
