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

I have great views of Kelso Dunes down below and the road is fun to ride in this slight downhill, as I skid and scooter the bike along the more slippery stretches.

I do walk the bike in a few spots however. I found this road to be much more rideable during a day ride from Kelso Dunes without gear during my 2007 Mojave Preserve trip, so I'm clearly seeing the difference that comes with carrying a heavy load on the bike.
