That looks like....Yea, no, I don't even want to think about experiencing that " fun"
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

I remember experiencing several dust storms like that during my months at Ali Al Salem, Kuwait (Southern Watch in 1999). Good gawd it made a hell of a racket when the tents started slapping around. Let's just put it this way, you didn't get any damn sleep, that's for sure.

I remember getting out of my bed, and there was a dusty outline of my body on the blanket where I was laying.

Down here in Tucson, we got our only significant monsoon a few days ago. Knocked the temperature down about twenty degrees and shut a couple of roads down due to the wash running.
