Day 62

I rode out of Silver City and headed down to Hachita. I had my last taste of a gravel road. The sand/gravel road took me back into the desert away from civilization. After being on pavement for 250+ miles it felt kinda cool to be out in the boonies again. I rode to a little stop in Separ that turned out to be nothing more than a convenience store/fireworks place. It was stuffed to the rafters with knick/knacky junk. They were doing their part to support the Chinese economy. Then I continued on to Hachita. I saw my first Antelope Wells sign and border patrol. Not much else though. I stopped at Sam Hughe's place. My map had pointed him out and he turned out to have everything I needed. A place to camp, water, and even SportsCenter.
