Dry lake beds/playas tend to work differently. The caliche/clay tends to crust over and keep the fun, nasty goo around just under the surface for a lot longer than anyone expects. If someone goes out onto it, they can break through into stuff that doesn’t support any weight.

Kind of like if it was thin ice, but it’s actually (mildly) caustic mud.

That said, never tested this on that specific playa. It’s also usually somewhat location dependent even within a specific lakebed.

Don’t be surprised though if it takes months (next year? If there are followup storms) for some of these vehicles to be extracted.
