We decided to get out and about. John wanted to drive Highway 152 to check out the road for a possible route when we leave here. We drove up to Emory Pass (8,182 foot elevation) to see what this mountain pass would look like. Lets just say it didn't compare to the Sierra Nevada's in California. We did, however, decide that there was no way we wanted to drive the fifth wheel over this highway.
We then headed back towards Silver City but took the road through the Mimbres Valley toward the City of Rocks State Park. We get to the self-pay ticket booth but don't have a five dollar bill or five ones to cover the fee - all we have are larger bills. Darn. A couple pulls up and mistook John as a ranger and wanted to pay him their fee. John told them he wasn't a ranger and asked if they could break a ten. They only had two fives and needed one to get in to the park. They very graciously offered to give John $5. John thanked them but said no, we'll just come back another time. So on another day, we will return making sure that we have some small bills.
By the time we got home, the wind was howling with very strong gusts. I was thinking about bringing the satellite down but John said that it was side on and should be fine. Amazingly, with the 50+ mph gusting winds, our TV signal nor internet signal never broke up. We sure were shook around during the late afternoon and evening.
