Sunday night was a big storm with wind and rain.
Many spectators and participants camp on the
(usually)
dry mud flats a few miles before the entry.
The mud flats were impossible to navigate:
RVs trying to leave were soon stuck and vehicles trying to enter were
stuck even worse.
Those who ventured out on foot discovered the mud clumped on their shoes
and the slippery conditions made walking a challenge.
I noted the problems and soon located a dry spot on the shoulder of the
road to park our RoadTrek.
Then I caught a ride in my friend's car onto the salt flats.
At the entry,
we discovered a river of brine.
Fortunately,
the salt flats themselves absorb water quickly and the courses were in
good condition.
The storm delayed the start time of runs enough that we arrived from
Brigham City
(having left at 5:30AM)
in plenty of time to do sight-seeing before Monday trials got underway.
