The year it rained, a campmate chained a metal plate to the back of his truck and made a Zamboni to even out the ridges.

It’s your thing, YOU could bring one.

Just thinking of the physics here ...
What would be the point other than creating a crap ton of dust?
It’s already a clay dry lakebed.
Other than the crunchy crust that would pulverize, will it get any flatter?

Tell us a little bit more about what you are trying to accomplish.
I'm familiar with a (vibratory) plate compactor, a jumping jack compactor and a sheep's foot compactor. I think they all will just make dust.

Well, not if you can’t be bothered to bring one in the first place!
