as an ex-resident of the mojave, i must say that most back roads look like that in the desert. what he couldn’t show is that the road surface is also “wiggly”. washboard is the norm.
There are actually quite a few back country roads here in Texas just like that. They were either designed for wagons or for 1930s-era motor traffic; the designers and builders thus assumed slower vehicles and so didn’t bother to even things out like they do nowadays.[]Suffice to say that “little memorial crosses near the turns” are a depressingly common site.

No saguaro in Coconino County. You’re thinking Maricopa, but don’t go there without your papers. Officer Pup is in Coconino; crazy Joe is in Maricopa.
