Continuing the Fallout New Vegas trail, next stop, Nipton, California. In the game, Caesar’s Legion controls the town. Lottery losers hang from crucifixes, smoldering tires surround them. You can buy lottery tickets in Nipton, but if you lose, you really lose.
Nipton is just as quirky in real life as it is in the game. I’m sure that’s why they chose it. There are plans for a large cannabis grow facility here, though it seems that it’s not moving very quickly. A number of artists have contributed to the town, it’s well worth the hop off Interstate 15. I’d settle here in a heartbeat, as long as they have good internet.
I hope you enjoyed Nipton as much as I did. All photographs were taken with Konica Autoreflex TC, Hexanon 50/1.7, on Fuji Sensia 100.
