The subject all too familiar!... I'd rent a (something) stowage in town and drive my Jeep back and forth... That there blacktopless dirt road dust gets EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, covered with a surface scratching layer of dust that will take hours to totally remove... And if the rain comes?... Mud, When I lived in the boondocks I never, ever, saw another Vette.
