Bob M and I went down to the event around 8pm local time. Uneventful.

There are two stages. The main stage was a band playing metal? Not the Metal I grew up on but metal, I guess. About 250 give or take. On the smaller B stage was a DJ. Again about 250 people. Then a bunch milling at the vendor tents and a few food tents.

But I can say in the afternoon, I never seen so much traffic on HWY 375. And on Valley aka Back Gate Rd. So much so, at sunset there was a fog blanketing Rachel. Except it wasn't fog, it was dust kicked up along the dirt Rd to the Back Gate.

I heard several arrests were made there i.e. a drunk, and a border crossing or two. I don't have exact numbers. They put up a sign explaining exactly what will happen to you if you cross. They are now being processed. One lady was arrested for sticking her foot under the fence. I guess just like American football, all you have to do is break the plane
