Drove through in a satellite truck (read: heavy) the week before Quartzsite. It's long and boring, but NOTHING compared to the road from San Antonio to El Paso. As far as rough road, we had no complaints whatsoever.

Boring, from El Paso take the two lane road, work your way back up to 10 when you feel like it.

So big a world, so little time to see.

Went thru there last July, from Las Cruces NM to L.A. CA. Some wind, lotsa dust devils, but no real problems. Basic slab travel.

Same here, been on a lot worse roads.

As was noted watch for high wind warnings and if you get into blowing dust get OFF the road. Not just the shoulder - fully off the road with lights off, especially brake lights.

Watch for the cross winds between Willcox and Benson. Expecting a storm system this weekend. Some road construction between Benson and Tucson. Watch the 18 wheelers to drift in the wind ahead of you and you won't be surprised. Traffic as you get closer to Tucson. Hope that helps.
