I went in 2019 and you guys got it right. Glad I went. Had a blast but I knew the whole thing was much different than the early years.

Our exodus was fairly normal from what my friend said. It was 12 hours to Fallon. The traffic turns the desert floor into a very fine silt. We saw probably 4-5 Civic/Corolla size cars extremely overloaded and stuck with the front wheels spinning.

And the death isn't rare at all.
