Don't think so. It all sounds like fun until something goes wrong.
Sticking the vehicle was not done on purpose. You'd be amazed at the number of people who own 4x4s or all wheel drives and don't know how to use them to get the most from it's capability. "Hey, its a 4x4, it can go anywhere."
Ever see a 4x4 with two opposing wheels up in the air just spinning away?
If it was done to pull a "Susan Smith" she stood a very good chance of checking out herself. Suicide by desert is not a nice way to go.
Your "Why" questions are good questions but how do they relate to desert survival? The nearest place was 20 miles away and they had no maps of the area.
The simplest plan would have been to tell a neighbor "We are going......and will be back Sunday evening. If we're not back by Monday morning could you notify the police and the park?"
And then Monday afternoon be ready to burn your flat tire.
