  Karen, you might point out you live in the desert where rain 
    
soaks into the ground and disappears within a day or two 
which might 
    account for you not using the 4WD.  
I don't live in 
  Nevada, but I've both attended and managed rides on the NV 
desert. 
   Some of that alkali is just deadly when damp.  It looks dry on top, 
  
and when you drive onto it, you simply bog to the axles or beyond. 
   Been 
there, seen it, and done it!
