I begin a long walk down the Amargosa River

Despite the heat, I begin a long walk down the Amargosa River and enter the gate to the BLM-managed wilderness area called "Amargosa River ACEC" (Area of Critical Environmental Concern).

As always, "take it slow, but take it."

The ice-cold 1.5-litre bottle of water that I purchased at the store is already getting warm. I should have bought two of them.
