Except....it's not a little group of people.
According to the Bible narrative, it was a GROUP somewhere in size between the metro populations of Portland and Seattle - 2-3 million people. Complete with animals and all the attendant garbage a population of that size would produce.
Now, I don't know if you'v been to either, but you can drive a LOOOONG, time to go from one end of Seattle to the other. Portland too for that matter.
There is virtually NO possibility the story can be true as told in the Bible. There would be evidence. Lots and lots of it.

What I am saying is there are winds in the desert covering tracks
Where I am from if I drive any longer than two hours I end up in the Atlantic, is it longer than that.

And yet those winds couldn't cover the tracks of a handful of camels -when viewed from space - even with a vast intervening span of time.

Finding "tracks" is one aspect. What about the massive amounts of pottery, bones, fire debris, building materials and garbage?
Remember: a population larger than the Portland metro area. Here's just a tiny slice:

how long ago do you this this happened 2 years?
Show me a camp site used by a native american 350 years ago in the desert.
