I wake up to a beautiful morning near Button Mountain around 8h, not a cloud in the sky
It was chilly overnight, in the mid 40s, so this morning's breeze is cool. However, the desert sun is really hot, the first real heat I've felt since Nipton several days ago. A few chirping birds and wind gusts interrupt the morning quiet.
A few flies come around my tent this morning, as does a yellowjacket wasp, which I eye carefully in case he decides to sting me, in which case I'm in trouble.
