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 a final mile and a half of washboard on Aiken Mine Road, I reach Kelbaker Road's pavement
I take a break here and see a car for the first time since leaving asphalt near Valley Wells yesterday afternoon. I remember stopping here 15 days ago on day one, trying to recover from heat exhaustion that was setting in on my way up Kelbaker Road.
