Reminds me of the time we drove from Dallas to Mazatlan, crossed to La Paz on the ferry on a stormy night, drove all around Baja to Santa Rosalia where we crossed back across the gulf to Guaymas. At that time there were no road maps or WAC charts that showed any road connection with the Copper Canyon area, but we pressed on asking for the trail to Chihuahua and were able to drive all the way back to Juarez. The rough road broke an internal connection on the battery, so going back over the Sierras we had to always park on a hill so the next morning we could roll down the hill to start. Great trip!

I usually know where I am and I can read ONC charts and use a compass. Back when Ed and I crossed the Sahara in a 2CV with only ONC charts and a compass. There were no paved roads just sand an tires to mark the way. It got dicey in a zero visibility sand storm and we sort of got lost for a few hours until we found the Hogars. The sand abated.
