Silver City, NM

We crossed the Continental divide once. The weather was a strange mix of hot and cold and impending rain. The pictures are from the evening activity of marking the map from Lordsburg. And a change in the ecosystem, there are some versions of trees here.

Today is the 2nd rest day. It was a long 8 days. There were plenty of personal stressors. Two had altitude sickness. A couple others were just exhausted and too stubborn to say “uncle” and jump in the sag. The sag drivers have become junior therapists for a numbers of gals. My rest day started off in the hot tub — not too shabby.
