It was cold overnight, but I wake up to one last beautiful desert morning in Mojave National Preserve

It's my last morning and I only have 15 miles to get to Nipton, and it's mostly downhill, so there's no rush this morning. A couple of cups of instant Starbuck's coffee, the usual dried fruit and granola, and a cup of vitamin C drink get me started.
