AN OLD MAN'S JOURNEY

No posts lately because we have been out of Verizon coverage for the last few days. This is highly upsetting for Cougina, who had checked the Verizon online coverage map and chosen a route that was identified as having service.

Other than the data service, all is well. We were exhausted when we arrived in Quemado, NM. Conditions were too windy for a comfortable camp, so we got a room at the Largo motel. Highly recommended! The manager told us that it is three years old, but our room looked like it was brand new. The appointments were as plush as many more expensive city hotels that I have stayed in. Also, the cafe had good food in huge portions.

Campsite enroute to Pie Town.

The next morning, we started the two day journey toward Pie Town. Cougina's plan to get us into condition is certainly the all out masculine approach. We found a very nice campsite on BLM land, just in time. Considering that we started with zero conditioning, we were satisfied with 55 mi in four days, loaded, uphill, and into the wind almost all the way.

Aggie's turn to cook.

Next post will describe Pie Town, which turned out to be worth every bit of the four days of uphill riding into the wind.
