ok so last year we left sunday night...i'd say around 11pmish...now this year we were trying to figure out what we wanted to do...leave sunday night or monday morning...last year it took forever for us to get off the farm and on the road...what do you all think?

I dunno, I've always waited til the morning. A lot of the people around you will have left, and of course it's not dark, so it's probably a lot easier to maneuver your car out. You can take the smaller roads through the campground and come out close to the exit, we weren't ever in line too long.

There is no way I'd leave before Monday. I like to sleep as late as possible and take my time packing up, then I always wind up hanging out for a while with other stragglers and trying to help a few broken down people. Last year I think I met more people Monday morning than the whole rest of the weekend. By the time I pulled out, there was no traffic at all, just like leaving a football stadium after an all day tailgate.

For some odd ass reason last year, we left at 2 am. I started out driving (I HAVE NO IDEA HOW!?), and drove until 7am. I felt like I was going to fall asleep at the wheel and I had to shake my friend to wake him up to start driving. It was crazy but we ended up making it back to Houston at about 1:30 pm and we all survived

Actually, I left out a lot of the story from last year. For some reason (probably a mild stroke or accidental poisoning of some kind), instead of going to the WSP show, I wandered around the campground, got hopelessly lost, nearly died of dehydration, didn't find my way back to camp until it started getting daylight, all of which would have prevented my leaving Sunday night, had I been planning to, which I hadn't. Even after getting some sleep, I didn't even make it to Chattanooga before having to stop and nap. I think I stopped atleast 3 times to sleep and finally completed my ~380 mile trip home around 11 pm Monday night about 12 hours after I left the farm.
monday, hands down. so many advantages i don't know where to begin. there's very little line leaving usually, you have much more ability to blend in with normal weekday traffic on the roads, you'll have had extra time to recover from partying, you'll be driving in daylight rather then darkness.
if you decide to leave sunday, get out by like 4-5pm. anything later and you're better off waiting.
Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!
Start doing a little packing Sunday night, get up at a reasonable hour Monday morning and leave...trust me, it is SO much easier then trying to navigate out Sunday night, AND you can still indulge in whatever you want Sunday night and not be worried about your ability to drive!

We left sunday night last year, and I think we will probably do the same this year. I'd much rather pack up and leave than stay a few hours longer and have to pack up and start driving in the hot sun. But it's just a personal preference I guess. We didn't have a long wait sunday night so i think it was worth it for us.

cupcake, you missed out then!!! the bonnaroo gods must have smiled on us last year because Monday morning was about 75 degrees, breezy and wonderful! i slept until about 9 before getting too hot! and it was a little cloudy, and sprinkled a little as we were leaving the farm!
STAY UNTIL MONDAY! party down sunday night, have a few beers, enjoy some more corn, and get a good night's sleep

we left before the end of phil lesh on sunday in 06, but now that i think about it, i think i'd rather leave monday, and be more rested. as long as everything but the tent and sleeping accessories are packed, i can't imagine it would take very long...

Just a little tip, if you're going to leave Sunday, go park your car in one of the pay parking lots off the festival grounds first thing Sunday morning. It will save you so much time...
