I'm up early this morning, enjoying the warm morning sun on my very cold tent; it must have dropped down into the 30s last night

I slept with all my clothes on, and woke up several times during the night due to the cold and the noise of the high winds. But I somehow feel refreshed. I'll pack up leisurely this morning and then ride down to Nipton for a shower, café food and beer.
