Silver City and a Day Off. Yippee

Sluggish this morning, after yesterday, so by the time I got this darned tent packed it was 7.30am before I left. Only 36 miles today so although still hilly made it to Silver City by lunchtime. We passed through the continental divide and as I was with a group there was much photo taking. In Silver City we are 6000 ft up and I can feel the slight effect of altitude. Heart racing a bit. Went into town in the afternoon and bought a skirt !!!!! Just what I need on a bike tour. Also bought Mace, a dog deterant spray as some cyclist got chased by 3 dogs the other day. This is one of my biggest fears. Will have to ditch the spray afer the tour as it is illegal in the UK. Good campsite, great laundry and shower facilities. SC is the home of Billy the Kid. He committed his first crime of stealing here , aged 15, and was jailed but because he was so slight, escaped through a chimney. More about the SC area later but must get some sleep....still loving it...
