The Final State -- New Mexico * Saturday Aug 31, 2024 to Friday Sept 6, 2024*

We had a couple days in Carson National Forest, where we had primitive camping. Then on Monday, September 2 we had 2 rented houses with bathrooms, a kitchen and 3 beds. In that kind of situation we draw straws or just take turns for who gets a bed/bedroom and who sleeps on the floor or on a couch — or even still out in their tent.

Wednesday, September 4 — “My bike feed bag is stuffed for this hard day. 47 miles with 5,700 ft of elevation gain on difficult gravel roads." Later “I think I might have cell service tonight in Cuba NM.”

Above - sunset Friday evening at Hunter’s Camp - dispersed camping with no services. Cami leaves in a week to pick me up from El Paso.
