Home / Mojave Preserve and Desert bikepacking trips / 2010, Mojave National Preserve / Day 8: Mid Hills campground to Nipton by bicycle, Mojave National Preserve /
The quonset hut at the Nipton campground houses toilets, sinks and showers; an outdoor hot tub is nearby, to the right
Time to walk over to the café for supper! Though not a huge meat-eater, I order the New York strip steak meal, which is delicious and fills my protein craving. I chat with a couple who have visited many of the same places as I, then do my laundry and take a much-needed shower.
I have cell-phone reception here, so I make a couple of calls and send a few text messages to declare that I'm alive and really enjoying this spring's trip.
Of course it's warmer down here at Nipton than it was up in the mountains at Mid Hills campground, but I go to bed with all my clothes on anyway. I fall asleep around 0h15, and sleep wonderfully, despite being woken up by the occasional passing trains.
