It is Sunday afternoon and I am at the Comfort Inn in Moriarty, NM using their wi-fi. I have had a quiet day. I attended cowboy church at the rodeo grounds this morning.

Pictures are of the wagons and of the Gran Quivera Ruins

We have gone over 350 miles to date.

Yesterday was a busy rest day. The day started by banging pots and pans outside Tom Seay's trailer and singing Happy Birthday to him. We then went to breakfast at the El Comador restaurant and ate with Bruce King, former governor of New Mexico. We just happened to have taken the table he and his friends have coffee at every morning. What a pleasent man he is! We then rode in the grand entrance to the rodeo. The temperature was in the forty's with a stiff wind. We all froze. In the afternoon I went and had a flat trailer tire repaired, bought propane, did my grocery shopping, and had my laundry done.

Friday we rode into town with a group of local riders and wagons drawn by miniature horses.

I have gotten help from a couple of fellow riders on getting Ali to collect up better when he trots. Many thanks to Tammy and Julie for their help.
