"Exodus operations" were officially underway in Black Rock Desert in Nevada thanks to drier grounds, festival organizers said in an update posted to its website around 2 p.m. local time.
An endless line of vehicles and RVs were slowly leaving the area Monday, according to images of the mass exit.
But even though the driving ban was no longer in effect, organizers urged those still in attendance to delay their departure until Tuesday to reduce some of the road congestion.
"Please know that while conditions are improving and roads are drying, the playa is still muddy and may be difficult to navigate in some neighborhoods and down certain streets," organizers said.
Attendees were also asked not to walk out of Black Rock Desert as others — including comedian Chris Rock and DJ Diplo — did over the weekend.
The pair had apparently walked six miles Saturday through mud before hitching a ride in the back of a fan’s pickup truck, according to a video posted on Instagram by Diplo, whose real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz.
"I legit walked the side of the road for hours with my thumb out," Diplo wrote.
