Here's a pic of Mark (my roomie) and I before today's start.
Lunch at Fort Selden - 101 degrees in the sun. Pic of Lil and Ray.
Riding through groves of pecan and walnut trees.
Once we got to town, Las Cruces, we rode a little further to the historic town of Messilla. This is a very typical looking Mexican square with a church at one end and single story shops around the perimeter. Luckily, there was an ice cream shop (The Chocolate Lady) and we had homemade ice cream on the plaza. We just booked a cab to take us back there for dinner.

Couldn't you take some literary liberties to throw in some excitement--like the rattle snake attacked the chasing dog... or showed up just when you got the flat?
Congrats!!! Great job.
Sounds like a nice, mellow day. A good way to bridge to your last day. You're almost done! Seems like you've been gone forever. I can only imagine how it must feel for you.
