After dark, the moon rises in the background and I boil water for tonight's add-water-to-bag meal
The desert is bright tonight with the full moon, with that peace and quiet that is particular to the desert on a wind-free evening. Still, I can hear the trains passing along old Route 66 and occasional booming sounds that I presume are coming from the military base beyond.
Supper, Mountain House instant Chicken Teriyaki with Rice, is tasty as always. Besides writing a few notes in my journal, I spend some time preparing a hiking route from here for tomorrow, into Kelso Dunes Wilderness.
The temperature drops into the mid 30s tonight, but I'm so happy to be here that I barely notice the cold. I sleep well.
