Mutant vehicles are another form of marvelous creativity. In my last blog I introduced you El Pulpo Mecanico. Here are some other favorites of mine from Burning Man 2104.

Large mutant vehicles such as this bull can accommodate a number of people.

Mutant vehicles come in all sizes as this ATV demonstrates. Every square inch of available space is covered.

This three mast sail boat makes a good conclusion for this blog on the mutant vehicles at Burning Man 2014. Next blog: A huge sculpture known as Embrace.
