Meaning of "taking a woman off to the hay bales"
What is the meaning of "taking a woman off to the hay bales"?
For example, a group of (non-close) friends is doing the famous Route 66 and, while crossing Arizona, at the end of the day one of the guys describes the day on Facebook:
"One flat tire in need of change.
Ten diners we passed through.
Zero hours of rest Adam had.
Two cowboys seen taking Mary off to the hay bales.
{...}
Mary did get to go to the nearby town but she had to sweet talk 2 cowboys."
(I'm not a native English speaker and that sounds like an expression)

Not an idiom I am familiar with but is a euphemism alluding to 'a roll in the hay'. Taking her somewhere secluded for a 'romantic encounter'.

He means they were taking Mary to a quiet place to have ***.
They weren't really doing that. It's meant as a light-hearted joke.
It's not a fixed, standard expression.

I'm not a native English speaker (the guy who posted that is, though) but I kind of thought that the expression could possibly mean something along the lines "heading off to the sunset". Is it possible that is the meaning?
Failing that meaning, the only other meaning that appears believable is "going to a secluded place to have *** with the 2

It still seems clearly a joke to me.
People post all kinds of silly things to Facebook, don't they?
