Camp
9: Continental Divide RV Park...terrible!
Barking dogs and domestic violence.
Again,
an interesting turn of events. We rode
into Silver City yesterday, resupplied, got a motel room and just chilled for a
bit. We had lunch at the Red Barn
Restaurant next door which I don't believe we were even old enough to be there
as it looked like senior citizen day at Golden Corral but we had a steak and a
beer anyway. We called the family, they
were all together for Mother's Day.
Later in the evening we had a little heart to heart and both agreed that
we didn't quite feel “in it.” While
biking has been quite an interesting adventure we find ourselves riding next to
cars and only looking forward to the next town.
After sleeping on it we woke up this morning and called Wal-Mart to see
what their return policy was (just for kicks).
Second choice, some homeless man was going to be quite happy with a new
bike and cart. Turns out, Wal-Mart will
take anything back within 90 days with the original receipt...no way! So we took our bikes, cart and gear back and
deemed Wal-Mart the perfect rental program.
I'm not even sure I should be sharing this information but it seems a
bit too funny and bizarre to keep to myself. In turn, we bought a Sony Handicam to document
our journey. We are now back on foot and
it feels much more like “us.” We still
have a tremendous amount of road walking which is tough on the joints and feet
but we are heading toward the Gila Wilderness and it should be amazing!
