Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2009, Spring: Mojave National Preserve / Day 16: Button Mountain to Baker by bicycle via Aiken Mine Road, with a stop at the Lava Tube, Mojave National Preserve /
After one last camp breakfast and a pot of tea, I take down the tent while enjoying the Cima Dome joshua tree forest
I take the morning slowly, wanting to prolong it because it's my last until my next trip here. While packing up, a hummingbird buzzes by, stops to check out my bike, then hovers in front of my face for a moment comes before zooming away.
Yes, that tent pole is bent, the result of a wind storm while camping at Mojave National Preserve's Butcher Knife Canyon last year.
