    On your way through the Mojave Desert, Interstate 15. Nipton is your Gateway to the Mojave National Preserve. Nipton is a small historic western town and maybe undergoing transformation into - a Weed Vacation Destination, or an Eco-Resort. We'll hafta wait and see what becomes of this new endeavor.
