... try jumping the two wire at the temp sensor on the radiator. Its sounds like your fan isn't running and that will "hotwire" the fan so it will run whenever the key is on.
You can safely drive without the thermostat. Your engine may not heat up to optimal running temp as fast, but when you're stuck in the desert I don't think that matters much. If the t-stat were stuck closed though, I think you wouldn't be able to drive very far without the coolant all boiling off.
Best of luck.
