Duncan

That morning we got up to the sounds of people setting up the farmers market. They had people selling food and a local author selling his books. Everyone was complaining about the cold and another couple of people were setting up some microphones and tuning guitars for some music. It felt like all the folks in the community got together and said "we need a reason to get together once a week. We should have a farmers market." We went over to say goodbye to our friends from the night before and Sharon asked us if we had been to Three Sisters Bakery. She took us over there and got us a dozen donuts. They were soooo good. In fact we ended up going back there later that day and got apple pie pockets and meat pie pockets and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We finally got on our bikes to get going and on the way out of town we saw Germaine's Emporium. It was an antique store that just kept expanding. It had everything you could think of even a room with all old west stuff. Hats, spurs, dusters, even guns. Duncan so far is the coolest town we have stopped in. We finally got on our bikes for real and biked to Lordsburg, New Mexico. We spent the rest of the day at McDonalds charging our phones and dumpster diving. We called the bishop in the area and he told us we could camp at the church and planned on attending the services the next day. That night was real cold again but that wasn't so bad, what kept me up all night was people walking throuh the church parking lot. The church is in the middle of a neighborhood and people used the parking lot as a shortcut home. I am sure nobody cared we were there or e even thought to rob us but I still woke up everytime a car drove too close or someone walked by.

I always stopped for gas in Demming or Lordsburg when we drove from Lubbock, TX to Tucson, AZ. I love that area because it is so remote and old-westish.
