Hi all: I finally have WiFi service tonight. If this is what you call it, sitting in the back of the Honda with the tailgate up. There will be no pictures because I only have 1 bar on my phone and it's not strong enough. I tried, but it didn't work. We are both good. Rick is still averaging about 20 miles per day, give or take a couple. We have seen a lot of beautiful country, have been in the mountains for days. We have seen several herds of Elk, up close and personal. Some of the Forest Service roads I have been on were just a two track up and down mountains. I thought Rick was trying to do me in a couple of times. One day I traveled 16 miles to take him water and it took an hour. Had to go slow because of the ruts and rocks. We stayed in Apache Creek the last couple of days. Rick had a rough day yesterday; while hiking he came into an area that had been burned and had to climb over a lot of fallen trees. Needless to say all the trail markers were gone too. Had to rely of his GPS coordinates. Hiked for 12 hours. He didn't have much trouble sleeping last night. Rick is in the woods tonight, no roads to get to him. I am staying in a little motel in Datil, NM. There is just 4 corners with Motel, gas station (with pumps from the 60s) and a tiny store all rolled into one. We are headed North tomorrow to Pie Town, NM. Yes, there is a restaurant there that serves pie. Ha! Can't wait. Not sure if we will have phone or WiFi, but when we do, I will post so everyone knows we are ok.
