I take in my final sunset from Mid Hills campground toward the Clark Mountains the distance, where I hope to be in a few days

Tomorrow I'm headed down to Nipton in the hotter valley below, whether I like it or not. I need a shower. Badly. And I also need to do a laundry. And drop the mortgage payment in the mail at the Cima mail box.

Supper tonight is Mountain House Chicken Teriyaki with Rice, which is delicious. I eat it a little too quickly.

Being Saturday night, I have neighbours again at Mid Hills campground, but they are more pleasant than last night's, and they go to bed early. Sleep comes easily tonight.
