Day 60

I went from Reserve, NM to Buckhorn, NM today. About 62 miles. I was trying to get all the way to Silver City, but it ended up not working out. I stopped at a cafe and I was just about ready to pay when this retired guy came up to me and started talking to me. He was interesting, but I really wanted to get going so I didn't ask a lot of questions. Didn't seem to matter though because he talked non-stop for about 1/2 hour. I learned about his 500cc scooter, or scoot as he affectionately called it. His German background. His military career. His low paying social work career. Yadda, yadda, yadda. I did finally get out of there, but Silver City was most definitely a bust. The other thing I have noticed,, that I wasn't expecting is the number of cowboy's here. I don't know who has the tighter clothes me, or the cowboy's wranglers. I guess they are probably for practical reason like me. Gotta watch out for those PTO's!
