#2 There's gonna be an epic amount of mud dumped on the paved highways as the caravan hits road speed.

#6 That caked mud stuck also adds a few pounds to the wheels themselves and REALLY throws the alignments off.

Plus it sticks itself to the undercarriage pretty well, and dries up like concrete. Hammer and chisel time for a lot of it.

#7 I wouldn't wish that mess pn anyone, but I would almost pay to see it happen a second time.

#8 I'm sitting in Bruno's (Gerlach's one restaurant) right now, and it seems pretty mellow.

As for this year's Burn: there are some people who are mentally and materially capable of dealing when things go wrong in the wilderness, and some who aren't. You don't know which one you are until you find out the hard way.
