The 10-ton bike is ready to leave Furnace Creek

I'm expecting to use my water purifier to get drinking water from Monarch Spring and stay two nights up there. I checked in at the ranger station and was told that the spring recently had a bit of water coming out of it.

Nonetheless, I've filled my extra two-gallon water bag just in case the spring up in Monarch Canyon turns out to be dry.
