included One of the biggest climbs of the trip but that includes a big
downhill... Right? Well it turned out to be one of the toughest days.
The climb was def. the longest and pretty darn steep too. We are
talking close to two hours in my granny gear taking switch back after
switch back. It was a great road for a climb though, no traffic, great
views, no wind, and did I mention no traffic? So the climb was what we
expected and I had hoped for a nice long downhill. I did not get my
wish. Nice short downhill thru the pine trees and then WTF another
uphill? We had to climb to reach New Mexico. We then lunched at the
Mule Creek post office with stuff we had bought in the morning. We
then hoped it would be flat or even downhillish to Buckhorn, our final
destination. Well because of our late start we had a nice windy
afternoon and of course it was into us. The 19 miles were some of the
longest of the trip. At an intersection a car pulled up and I noticed
Cali plates and a Santa cruz holder. I thought, driving here would
have been a much better idea. Finally into buckhorn and a nice
surprise of a shower at the RV park and pizza. For those of you on the
edge of your seats about my bowel situation. Well I maybe have pushed
myself to the other side with Pepto. I should no in the morning.
Hoping that my powerball numbers came up tonight. I may right now be
175 million richer and I'll get to share the winnings with my
wonderful mother. Thanks mom for your support, not only for this trip
bit for all the crazy things I've done. You've always helped pave the
way and never complained about the gray hairs I've given you. Love you.
