Interesting patch of reddish soil on the way up Chloride Cliff Road away from Monarch Canyon

A geologist would probably have a lot to say about what this is, and isn't; I don't.

Before I left my Monarch Canyon camp site, the part of my speedometer/odometer system attached to my front wheel snapped off. Travel distances for the rest of my trip will be calculated as per mileage shown on maps rather than per actual odometer readings.
