Good things do come to an end, and I reach the bottom of Ivanpah Valley and the beginning of Morning Star Mine Road

It has been mostly downhill today from my Keystone Canyon campsite at 5300 feet to the bottom of Ivanpah Road at about 2650 feet. I turn left here and it will be uphill for the rest of the day.
