July 3, 2009 Mexico by noon today...

We wake up in Silver City, New Mexico.... The storm is gone.... the day is great. We look around for a while and cruz into the Visitors Center, there is Billy the Kid's Homesite... cool spot.

From Silver City we head out to the Desert. Due to the recent rains the road is damp and the dust levels are low. The Desert is blooming with life. Wow a great road, in an amazing place. Just a few more hours and we are in Mexico. Woooooo Hooooooo! Love it! Lots of rain = plants grow... even in the desert. This is an exciting place with unique sights.... I love this adventure.... Wow.... Great stuff.

We have been seeing some bicycle tracks in the dirt and mud for the past 5 days. Seems like there was an unsanctioned 'race' from Banff to Mexico, allong the Continential Divide .... and we have been on the same track as these intrepid adventures.... These folks have been on the road for 21 days. We have been at it for 5.5 days, Hmmmmmmmmm..... I'm impressed with their grit.

We made it... Here we are at the 'Antelope Wells' border crossing ... There is no town here, no gas station, no cafe, nothing 'cept' the border Xing.... We stay here for 10 minutes and head home.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

In a few moments we will be 'winding our way back to Calgary'... We take off from 'Antelope Wells around 1-1:30 and start to "Blast" back to Calgary. The trip back home is a 'RIPPER'....

This is in a town called Lordsburg. A billboard on the way into town said " Lordsburg... Your Soul is our Goal"..... Nieeece.... This was a restraunt, we were hungry, and the sign says "Good Food", what a coincidence, I prefer to eat good food.... So we stopped. It was Good Food, infact this meal was a great experience.... Loved the place. We continue to Blast north and get into Hwy 191 North of Cliffton Arizona.... That has got to be the wiggliest road in the planet.... Wow. It was a little wet, but absolutly great none the less.... We push a few hours into the night and find a roadside place to hole up in.... Great Day.... I LOVE this Stuff....
