The stream is too shallow to pump water from it, so I dig a small depression to accept the intake hose of my water filter

One hour after leaving Coyote Springs, I pull into the Mojave National Preserve visitor centre at Kelso Depot

I stop at the Mojave National Preserve visitor centre at Kelso Depot, chat briefly with rangers on duty and replenish my 18-litre water supply again. Each time I fill up, I am reminded of the weight of the water that I carry (almost 40 pounds) and wonder if I'm crazy.

I have to carry this much because I don't know if the springs in the Butcher Knife Canyon area will have any water for me and I do plan on spending two nights there.
