I have about 300 less desert miles than Scott does but it still takes a plan to get across it without ending up like BD on the verge of passing out in a gas station. Like I said before, If you're not careful the desert will eat you.

I would guess that your travel hours are 5:00am to about noonish in those conditions....but you desert guys should be well conditioned to that...!
