Day 51

I had an enormous breakfast this morning at the Inn I stayed at. It was delicious. Probably the best tasting breakfast I have had yet. I also went up the hill into Abiquiu to try and find the Library so i could update the ol' blog. I couldn't find it right away so I stopped at this house that had a crude sign for tourist information. All I wanted to find out was where the Library was and if I was on the right road. Well the guy told me that, plus about 20 minutes worth of other information. He was a pretty interesting guy. Apparently Georgie O'Keefe's right hand man, and an artist in his own right. The library was closed so I continued on.

I only went 23 miles, but they were pretty hard miles. It was hot and windy, and I had to gain about 4300 feet in elevation. The road that I was on was some of the roughest I have been on. Some type of lava flow/rock made the road pretty rough. It took me 6 hours to go those 23 miles so I got a little camping spot in the woods and called it a night. Even though it was a pretty slow day and I didn't get very far it felt like a pretty decent day. Probably a big part due to that awesome breakfast.
