Sunday, May 9th

Friday and Saturday, we walked a combined total of 19 miles. The wind was quite breezy both days.

We are on highway 70, walking northeast toward Portales and are about half way there. We are walking in semi-arid ranch land. Lots of ranch, few cows. There is a smattering of oil wells here. John said that was good, means we're getting closer to Texas.

Tomorrow we will be moving to either an RV park in Elida, the Wagonwheel RV Park in Portales or Oasis State Park, just outside of Portales.

The RV park in Elida would be our first choice as it would be closer to driving out to the drop-off and pick-up point. We don't have a phone number, so we don't know if they are even in business.

This being Presbyterian Sunday, we attended the First Presbyterian Church of Roswell. Beautiful church and a good sermon.

In the last two day of walking, we have found another Texas license plate, a fork, a dime, a mysterious cloth bag with a palm tree embroidered on it and sewn shut at both ends and a Stanley Thermos Bottle, complete with coffee. Stay tuned .....
