The 13th annual Desert Bus for Hope - Desert Bus for Hope 2019 - started on November 8, 2019 at 8 AM Pacific Standard Time.[1] The venue is the Lunar Module Mk IV (the same venue as last year, but with a little less space).[2] This is the second venue to host multiple Desert Buses, and the first reuse of a Lunar Module. Date: November 8, 2019 I
Drivers
This year, there are no single-driver shifts. Instead, each of the four daily shifts—Dawn Guard, Alpha Flight, Night Watch, and Zeta Shift—has a team of people who handle driving, co-piloting, and other shift-related matters.[3]
All shifts (except the starting shift) are 6 hours long. Times below are in 24-hour time format, set to Pacific Standard Time (aka Moonbase Standard time).

- Match 2 (Nov. 10): James won (6-5). Serge had to do Caramelldansen for every Random Dance Party until the next Dawn Guard shift, starting with a chain of them.
