That's the title of one of the 280+ articles you'll find in my blog,
along with a couple of articles on survival, tracking down abandoned
air****ts here in the desert south-west and even a few hints about semi-
spontaneous fly-in's to some of those forgotten or seldom used
airfields. I've even mentioned the advantage of doing your first
flights off a dry lake bed -- kinda nice to have a 7 x 5 MILE runway
in your backyard :-)
Of course, if you've never pruned sage brush with your prop nor flown
over regions where the gas stations on the Interstate are a hundred
miles apart, it's kinda tough to appreciate the reality of desert
flying. So mebbe this will help.

The Husky is a good plane for this type of country and Kelly is a good
pilot for the plane.
