Church

One thing we have noticed on our trip is that small towns are way more fun for us than big towns. Also everyone has more time in small towns. On our way into church we got invited over for lunch which turned into dinner and showers and a bed to sleep in as well. We were invited over by two brothers and their wives who live out away from town and just a little ways from each other. Both were cops at one point in their life and were a lot of fun. The next morning Lloyd and his wife, Carolyn, fixed us a big breakfast of pancakes and then Lloyd and his brother Roger asked us if we wanted to shoot a special shotgun they have. It was just a single shot, break action, shotgun but what they didn't tell us was that they loaded a magnum round and with a gun that light there is very little to stop the recoil. My shoulder still hurts and I still chuckle when I think about their prank. They dropped us off in town where we got our bikes which were locked up in the church and started our ride for Deming. We opted for the I-10 and road almost all the way to Deming on the freeway. The wind was in our face most of the day so we didn't make real great time but we enjoyed he ride all the same. Southern New Mexico has a different kind of beauty, it is very flat with mountains popping up out of the flat Haphazardly. We have an almost totally clear view of the horizon in almost every direction. And in that huge sky there is not even the hint of cloud. The sunsets in this area are spectacular.
