That's high desert and it's dry as a powdered fart out there.

Actually, a fun weekend to me would be to tag up a trailer behind the pickup, load up a couple of dirt/enduro bikes and take off to NM. Go as far as possible on roads and unload the bikes for excursions where the truck won't go. Stay in a motel room in some podunk little town, take off at sunrise and return at sunset. Yep, I've talked myself into it. Looking for a couple of pre-67 VW beetles anyway and it has all but dried up around the Phoenix area. No pun intended with "dried up".
Sounds like a absolute blast! Brings back memories as a kid on vacation in No. Cal. with my father chasing old tin. We actually found and bought a 41 Ford PU with a 302 Chevy from a crazy old hippy for $600.00. Man...that was better than Disneyland. Good luck finding a Dub or two.
