South Dakota Department of Transportation

 

There is a footing error in the district total column for vehicle seized for drug possession.

Is this a government unit putting this out?

 

The real surprise was the 2015 attendance. Some forecasts approached 1M...yet only measured 500k. i guess many people stayed away to avoid the anticipated crowds.

 

I saw in a few places while I was there the week before the rally where they estimate for last year was 750,000+. I have no idea where they got those numbers. seems I saw something more like 500,000 plus last year a few weeks after the rally.

 

Official 2015 attendance according to the rally website was 739K.

Number of hours their webcam was working...48 maybe.

 

Yeah it sucked and had already been acting up before the rally started.

 

I'll go next year if the crowds are within reason. The millenials will apparently want a large wooden structure to burn and Skrillex rather than Kid Rock.

 

And it's still a POS. I thought it was my browser but after trying several, I found out it was them.

 

I've been fortunate to have seen the 50th and the 75th with about 8 others between them and 2015 was by far the most crowded.
The way bikes flood into/ out of that little town from all directions, I don't know how they could possible be accurate with their numbers.
