Nothing is coming easy

The day started with me waking to find the hotel did not give us the 6:30 wake up call; it was now 7:45. By the time we got up and and out it was raining, and of course cold. We had more climbs an descents for about 8 miles and then it got flat with the wind at our back for about 8-9 miles, then everything changed. The wind picked up out of the Southeast at about 15 mph. We were heading Southeast, see the problem? We ended the day with 60 miles under our belt, about 44 of it in the rain. It was mostly a soft rain, so it could have been much worse.

We are staying in Deming NM at a Roadrunner RV park. Not too bad of a place, but not the best. Jake actually chose this over a Motel down the street that we checked out. It was really rough and Jake said no because of the smell. I could smell nothing because taking in the decorating required all of my senses. OMG - I would have taken pictures but I thought that might offend the owner. But then again based on these being his rooms, my guess is he does not offend easily.

Here is something we experiance today, which I hope you never do: During the part of the day when it was raining pretty hard, a cattle carrying semi came by. Obviously the rain was washing off the floor of the truck which was covered in .......... Anyway once the runoff was mixed with the normal semi tire spray, we had a lovely little cow urine and poop shower. Like I said, I hope you never experience it. Maybe that's why I couldn't smell the motel room and maybe that's why the owner wasn't disappointed when we said we would pass.

That's all for now. Wishing all your showers are free of cow poop and urine!
