I stop briefly at the old corral on the way down Morning Star Mine Road
I hate to break an enjoyable descent, but... On a hot day climbing this hill during my 2006 Mojave Preserve trip, I chatted with a pipe-smoking man and his wife camping here who gave me a Camelbak filled with ice water. Alas, he's not here today.
I wouldn't mind having the opportunity to thank him again.
