No. This was entirely on pavement, even the part down the farm road in
the Amish area, but even disregarding pavement fenders like this do a
great job keeping the bike clean. And that's especially important if
you're riding in area where there are many horse drawn vehicles like the
one where these photos were taken, in Maryland's St Marys County. These
photos were all taken on the same ride (indeed, on the same road) as the
one featuring the Saluki.

Immaculate bike Steve. You trailer it there, take picture then put it
back? :)
Love those honking fat tires. Oodles of comfort and as fast as you
want too.
Yes indeed, those tires are very comfortable. And in rural areas, high
pressure narrow racing tires just don't get on all that pleasantly with
farm roads, which are generally paved with coarse materials like
chipseal, but also the iron shod horses' hooves and the steel tires on
the the buggy wheels really tear up the pavement.
The bike below is now owned by list member Tony DeFilippo, who also
lives in Alexandria VA.

Why not consider a Roadeo?
They can do everything a Saluki can now that you can get braze ons
wherever you want them, plus they will be a snappier ride/lighter
tubeset.
I guess only restriction is tire size the Saluki probably has the
Roadeo beat. But other than that the Roadeo should be the more
exhilerating ride, in theory.
Only "probably"? Per https://www.rivbike.com/products/roadeo "FOR
SURE: The Jack Brown, which is NOMINALLY 33.333mm wide on most
rims--but that's irrelevant, remember?--measures about 700mm on a 24mm
rim. It's the fattest unfendered tire we can categorically commit to
fitting the ROADEO fork. /If you want fenders also, best limit the
tire to 682mm height...which will be about a 28./" I ran 650Bx42mm
Grand Bois Hetres with fenders on my Saluki. That is a huge
difference, lum gim.
Bigger than huge. Monstro Gigantor. Let's compare a Range Rover with
an Aston Martin, why don't we. I can see plenty of reasons why you
might want to have both, but I can't see any reason to think the two
would really be interchangeable.
