I hike across the New York Mountains foothills back to my tent, slowly, to preserve energy, Mojave National Preserve

I'm taking a lot of short breaks, due to the heat, and enjoy occasional gusts of hot wind. I startle a few jackrabbits and birds on my way back to the tent. I can't drink as much water as I need because of heatsickness, but I'll recover after sunset.
