Bluejay Mine Road rises out of the wash, sort of, but is really bumpy, and a bit uphill, so I'm now walking more than riding

Kelso Dunes paint a scenic backdrop for this moment of indecision

I don't want to turn back when I'm so close to Cornfield Spring. But I'm spooked by the prospect of running dry on a hot day, even briefly; I'm drinking a lot. With water, I could also walk two miles toward Kelso Dunes to check out the old Rex Mine site.
