Some parts of the world have this phenomenon known as
dust
Big truck or pickup one turns off A/C fan in 106F heat
prior to being off-pavement as engine fan creates a dust cloud so enveloping one’s vision is obscured.
Windows may not ever be open — so to speak — and that dust layer is simply from entering/exiting vehicle.
I had to go back to photo just above as I hadn’t realized that truck interior was “dirty”.
It ain’t. It’s a more than decade old pickup where dust has gotten down into the seams . . in Texas.
(Pics make dirt appear more prominent).
The static charge created by being in dust brings yet more.
Other parts of the world it’s known as, “a work vehicle”. Though I agree that a calendar quarter detail isn’t an onerous burden (takes a full day, first time, in interior) where rainfall is sufficient.
US-285 is dangerous enough from oilfield personnel nowadays (western Permian Basin) that I’ll go 60-miles out of route to avoid it from Carlsbad, NM, to Ft Stockton, TX.
High winds worsen things. Fighting dust isn’t going to happen.
