I take my break at the E Clampus Vitus Mojave Road marker at the junction of Cedar Canyon Road and Kelso-Cima Road

I eat an energy bar and slug back some water. The dirt road behind the E Clampus Vitus marker is the old Mojave Road, one of the early wagon roads across the Mojave Desert. I'll ride a stretch of that road toward the end of this trip.
