Day 9: Day ride from Nipton to Nevada State line and power-line road, Mojave National Preserve

I'm still affected by last night's beer. I've slept in late thanks to a cool breeze, but still have a bit of a headache anyway.

I'll spend another night here at Nipton and just go for an afternoon ride through a nearby area that I haven't visited yet: the power-line road from Nevada State line to Nipton-Brant Road. 12 bicycle miles.

The floor here is dirt with wooden slats around the shower stalls. The bathroom has electricity too, so I get to recharge my cell-phone.

I've always camped overnight when passing through Nipton, but an even cheaper option is to just stop here and take a shower, which costs about five dollars.
