Catching the last hot-red rays of sunset as I walk down Rex Mine Road, with the Providence Mountains behind me
Date: November 26, 2009, 16h28
On my right as I climb Kelbaker Road, the usually vivid Kelso Dunes pale in the murky light of the cloudy afternoon
I'll camp somewhere beyond the dunes tonight. On this busy holiday weekend (by Mojave National Preserve standards), I expect the three official campsites near Kelso Dunes will have been taken by the time I get there.
