Lordsburg to Silver City, NM - 47 miles


"Painful" is the only word I could use to describe this day. We just climbed and climbed forever!!! Someone said that our total climb was 3,700 ft. Silver City is at an elevation of over 6,000 ft. At mile 25 we crossed the Continental Divide. Phyllis from Boston is on my right and Pat from Vermont is on my left. Whoo Hoo! but am I tired. I was so tired that I tried to wash my hair with body lotion. It took me a while to figure it out since I wasn't getting any suds after adding more on my hair. Those darn bottles all look the same. Things could have been worse...I could have brushed my teeth with Bengay.

I am glad tomorrow is a Rest Day. My body is screaming "No More."
