I’d be more worried about dust from the dirt road getting into it, and your eyepieces. Put it in a bag you can close properly (zipper) or a box and tape it shut.

The trouble with road dust on mirrors is that it doesn’t wash off easily and if you use anything to wipe it will scratch the front surface coating. Road dust (basically crushed rock) is both hard and full of microscopic sharp edges, ie abrasive.
