Chihuahuan Desert National Park

Most visitors to the Chihuahua Desert will enjoy their journey problem free, whether the region serves as your final destination or just an avenue to further travels. Still, just in case, if you find yourself broken down on the side of the road with absolutely no, much less a clear wireless internet service signal or cell phone service signal in the vicinity, it’s best not to panic.If you are stuck in a visible roadside area, do not leave your vehicle unattended Your vehicle will not only provide some shelter from the elements (particularly if heating and cooling is still working), staying put will ultimately reward you for your patience. It may seem as if traffic is sparse at times but a passerby is more likely to stop for assistance in the event a car is present as opposed to just a street-sidling wanderer. If for no other reason, you are more likely to be seen standing next to a sizeable automobile than on foot. It will also provide additional security for any personal possessions or valuable items inside your car which you are unable to take with you.If you do opt to leave your car, whether for safety concerns or as means of seeking help, at least leave a note This will help any emergency help to locate you if need be, not to mention help alleviate the fears of any parties you may be traveling with. With no contact to the surrounding world at this point, aside from your physical person, it’s important to do everything in your power to leave a trail, however, leaving a trail of food or trash items you might have on hand for your trip could help to attract unwanted animal visitors.If you are reading this, it’s obviously not too late to plan ahead Even if just driving through the desert, be sure to pack fundamental survival items (i.e. water), and make sure your car is in suitable condition for a potentially lengthy road trip. This would include finally getting around to the oil change, new tires or service work you might have neglected in recent months
