Nazi Convoy's Desert Road

The desert road winds far below Indy's parallel ridge, carrying the Nazi convoy through open terrain. Indy spots it from his concealed vantage and deliberately avoids this exposed route, leaping gullies and sliding dunes cross-country to match the convoy's pace without detection. The convoy advances steadily along the road's dusty track.

Ridge Shadow: Indy Trails the Convoy

The desert road is the convoy’s chosen route; Indy deliberately avoids it. Its presence defines the convoy’s predictable path and the strategic necessity for Indy to cross-country in order to remain unseen and create an advantageous interception point.

Before: A dusty, well-worn road carrying the Nazi convoy's tracks and the convoy itself progressing along it.

After: Continues serving as the convoy’s route; remains a visible linear marker below the ridge as Indy shadows from off-road.
