A 17-year-old had gone missing -- she was later found in the temporary city -- and authorities delayed the exodus Sunday as they searched, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.
Some people missed their flights, according to social media, while others fell asleep behind the wheel as they waited for traffic to clear, the Gazette-Journal reports. Some even took the spirit of Burning Man with them and danced atop RVs to cure their bumper-to-bumper blues.
