Easy ride today, fast, cool and tailwinds. We did our 65 miles in a little over four hours. There's not much here in Lordsburg, a little better than some of our Texas towns but just junk stuff around. The desert is very cool at night. Tonight down to 30 with a wind chill of 27. Going to have to put on everything we have to ride in the morning. by afternoon it will be in the 80's.
Nothing but tumbleweed and sand in this area. Not too hilly today either. Very difficult forva lady to find a place to go to the bathroom along the road. Hiding behind a lone cactus brings honks from the truckers. Sometimes that's all you can do! Modern conveniences are few and far between. We crossed the Continental Divide this morning. Signs continue to warn of poor visibility because of blowing sand. Nothing in bloom here. No wild life. No road kill. Freight trains are numerous. I always count the cars and think of how excited James would be. Longest today was 127 cars long.
Trip is getting closer to ending. It feels bitter/sweet. I am enjoying it all so much. But all of you are missed too. Stay with us.
Jules. Sounds like the perfect ride today and made good time. I think you have come back to normal living after the shot in the arm with the warn showers visit. Little more like the life you were acustomed to. Keep on trucking and keep the spirit. Blessings, Darlene
