Short and sweet at 40 miles, Ryan and I are settled in at Hatch, NM RV Park. We are showered, laundered, and Ryan is getting started on cooking us up some tacos for dinner! Life is good today.
We met a really awesome family in Las Cruces this morning before we left our campsite at Bethel Bible Fellowship Church. Jeff Howey and his kids, Mickey and Nate made us feel so welcome at their church and gave us fantastic advice for navigating the area. Jeff is an avid cyclist and we had fun talking biking with him. Thanks Jeff for being so laid back and fun to chat with!
Our early arrival in Hatch left time to unwind and I had the pleasure of painting some far off hills. New Mexico and West Texas have GORGEOUS mountains with lots of blue hues.
Route info for interested readers:
From the church we got onto S Triviz and ride along the bike path there up to where it took a left turn off the road, then we got onto Elks Dr. That road took us to Thorpe where we went left and then right onto Doña Ana. We rode it to where it interested with 185 and took that road all the way into Hatch.
There and Back Again
