I ride into Mojave National Preserve up Kelbaker Road away from Baker, California
A tailwind is pushing me nicely. Around the 10-mile point, Kelbaker Road turns sharply to the right, but I turn left at that point and set up camp at the base of one of the Kelbaker Hills there.

Posts mark the beginning of a Wilderness area at the base of Kelbaker Hills
I set up camp near here on last year's Mojave National Preserve trip as well. I set up camp just before the sun goes down and get to bed early for a change, exhausted from the long Greyhound bus ride.

Wake up! After a rejuvenating sleep, I get up and snap a few photos of the Kelbaker Hills area before packing up
It was a bit chilly last night and quite windy, but not downright cold. The Indian Springs area, which I won't visit on this trip, is in the hills in the background.

A different view of the Kelbaker Hills campsite showing the rocky hill behind it
I think I'll climb up that hill.

View northwest across the desert toward Soda Lake from Kelbaker Hills
The dirt road just below me is one of many that criss-cross this wide desert expanse. I prepare a quick breakfast and leave my Kelbaker Road campsite just before noon to head further into Mojave National Preserve.
