Monday, June 2nd

We got an early start today as we were on the road by 5:30 am. It's a beat the heat thing. We started at the intersection of Highway 1 and Highway 380, going east(my favorite direction) on 380. We soon came to the Rio Grande which was fast flowing and full, almost out of its bank. From there it was uphill and out of the valley. We are now in the badlands (mal pais). There is nothing here except antelope and a few cattle and lots of rocks. It was an uneventful walk today and a short one, ten miles. I found a tweezers, a spoon, a New Mexico license plate and .17 cents. Stay tuned.....
