Sunset at Pachalka Spring, Mojave National Preserve, with Kingston Range in the background

Tonight's awesome sunset at makes up for the lack of a sunset last night. The wind has calmed down, so everything is peaceful. Clucking quail around sunset add to the effect.

Supper tonight is Mountain House Chicken and Rice, a yummy 800-calories, as well as some tamari almonds and Trader Joe's turkey jerky. And a few dried peaches for dessert. I'm full!

The temperature drops during the evening and I have to put my sweater on, even while inside the tent. I stay up late again, reading more of Edward Abbey's "Desert Solitaire" after writing my journal entry for the day.
