Thursday, April 15th

This morning, Carol, Ruth and I went out to mile marker 50 and walked 4 miles, 2 miles for Carol and 2 miles for Ruth.

Carol found 2 dimes, a stocking cap. Ruth found a quarter and a yellow plastic bucket and I found 13 cents. Also saw 8 deer.

A rancher pulled over and asked if we needed any help. We said no, that we were just walking and had someone to pick us up. He said OK, " it's a long way to anywhere out here" We couldn't agree more.

We went to Ruidoso again this afternoon as John had a doctors appointment. Dr. Reed told John and Ruth to take it a day at a time as John's recovery may be slow.

Ruth gets a extra pat on the back as she walked up the steepest hill yet !  Stay tuned ........
