My Cornfield Spring Road campsite is born in time for me to enjoy the colourful end-of-day glow of the desert sunset

When I dismantle the 10-ton bike and open the saddlebags to retrieve my tent, my camping gear puffs heat at me. The rocky desert floor is exuding heat too, warming my tent from underneath, releasing today's sunshine just like my skin.
