Either that is some EXTREMELY fine sand, or that stuff is WET. You can see some clumping along the edges of the tire tread marks. Like what you would get driving a truck with mudders on it through a damp patch of dirt.

Or is that wishful thinking?

If they should get one of those dust storms or a dust devil, they could go back to look at old wheel tracks and see what the fresh dust did.
