It's a race against time as I ride up Kelbaker Road toward Kelso Dunes
It will be dark before I reach Kelso Dunes, which is OK, but I'd like to be off fast, semi-busy Kelbaker Road before it gets dark--not likely. I have eight miles and 700 feet of elevation gain before I will leave pavement.

Getting darker as I climb Kelbaker Road toward Kelso Dunes Road
I'm doing well at climbing the eight miles and 700 feet of elevation gain from Kelso Depot to Kelso Dunes Road, but I still have a few miles to go.

I'm just a couple of miles from Kelso Dunes Road
I've done this ride before, and the last couple of miles toward the Granite Mountains can go quite slowly.

My race against time is over when I reach the gravel of Kelso Dunes Road and head toward the camping area at the end of the road
A car leaving the dunes is heading toward me, but besides that, there's no other traffic. I select a random campsite near the cul-de-sac at the end of the road.
