It was a nice mostly downhill ride with a few climbs here and there. We rode thru many small communities such as Hillsboro, Arrey, Derry, Garfield, Salem, Hatch and Radium Springs. Hatch is known for growing red chili peppers. We crossed the Rio Grande twice along the route.
Yesterday, March 21st, was the most painful day of all. One lady described it as harder than the "Climb to Kaiser." At one point we crossed Emory Pass (above photo)which is 8,228 ft. in elevation. Then dropped down to the small community of Kingston which is roughly at 6,000 ft. The population of Kingston is 20! However, Kingston was a booming silver mining town in the 1880's. Because we were in such a remote, I did not have cell service or internet service, therefore, no post.
The day before, March 20th, was a rest day in Silver City. I was fortunate enough to be invited to have lunch at a beautiful new home of a local quilter. What a treat....great food, great view, great studio, and beautiful art quilts through out the house.
