This morning we woke up to 37 degrees. Silver City is at 6000 ft. so gets quite cold here. But seeing that we were not going to ride as far today we took our time in getting going. David Kneller had to drive us back 47 miles to where we left off the night before. It was 10:00 by the time we started and about 50 degrees, but sunny. But when you're riding and the wind is in your face it gets to feeling much colder, so we bundled up warmer for our morning ride. Dave and Faith didn't have to go driving ahead of us this time. We let them stay at the motel and go get groceries while we biked, since we are staying in the same motel tonight as well.
After lunch, we headed out to see the Gila Cliff Dwellings, but on our way it said the park closes at 4pm and it was already 3 pm and we had two hours still to drive, so Dave Ryder suggested we go to the park tomorrow for the day on Sabbath instead of going to the local church, and just have our own worship outdoors. So we headed back. On the way we stopped at an unique gift shop and museum in Pinos Altos, where we were able to buy some local souveniers and gifts.
Once back at the motel Faith made us a wonderful supper of gluten patties, baked sweet potatoes, steamed asparagus, and a wonder garden salad. We all sure do appreciate her culinary talents.
And David Kneller is doing a great job driving the support vehicle and packing up and unloading the van each day.
On our bike ride today we passed the continental divide--6230 ft. Only one more day before we get to Texas. The ride through Texas is so long it comprises about a third of the total mileage of the journey across country.
Well it is Sabbath now, and Dave and I have really looked forward to this Sabbath. What a welcome rest!! Praise the Lord for the Sabbath! Happy Sabbath to all of you.
