David and I met in Hatch, NM (elevation:4,058 feet; population:1, 673) for lunch at a small city park. I must say that the town of Hatch is the Yard Art capital of the U.S.A. (so far). I’ve never seen so much yard art in one town; I could not get pictures of all of it

With the light wind and early start; I finished around 1:30pm, meeting David at the Caballo Lake New Mexico State Park Campground (elevation: 4,100 feet). The breeze picked up keeping things bearable and each site had a picnic table and shelter. Our site has electric and water, close to the bathroom and a masseur. No Wi-Fi… it’s nice to take a break sometimes… after my massage and a shower I sat around and read a book, cleaned my bike chain, went for a walk and typed up today’s posting.

ReplyDeleteHi Jo Ann,
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying your blog and I am in awe of the grit you have to tackle this trip. What a wonderful experience, I am envious, but not of the way you are traveling! Am glad that David is taking good care of you. Hope you have recuperated from your fall. I love your pictures, especially the flower ones. You never get to see them like that from a car. Keep on keeping on.
