Road trip San Diego CA to Albuquerque NM

[3-D Video]

Personally, I wouldn't bother with a tent unless you're planning on staying in campgrounds and want the privacy. Even then, a poncho will give you all the privacy you'll need for changing clothes. I'd be most concerned about staying warm at night. The dry air in those parts will not hold the heat after the sun sets… And this, from personal experience, always shake out your boots in the morning. Their warmth and comparative dampness make the a real draw for scorpions.
