I arrive at the junction of New York Mountains Road and Carruthers Canyon, the first of two summits today

There's a hint of a cool breeze up here at 5500 feet, unbelievable after the past few hot days. I've risen almost 1000 feet since I left Ivanpah Road a while back, but it doesn't seem like it because the grade is fairly gradual, and the trip so enjoyable.
