One this for sure the technology and communication is a benefit for traveling out here. Riding along across miles and miles of prairie land, you get only a little sense of the vastness, loneliness, and exposure to the elements, that the earlier pioneers came across. On the smartphone I get weather forecasts that show the hourly changes coming. Tomorrow is forecast for a storm, wind, snow, rain.
Road into the night last night and got in a 50mile day.
Only 13 miles left today to get into Fort Sumner. I have been here a couple of times when traveling to John’s house, once with Laura my Grand daughter, who is with God. A few years ago I stayed a couple of days to kill time and get to John and Shay’s at an better time, and today. Ironically I get to see more of Fort Sumner while trying to get to see the Grand Children, than I would have ever thought. Not much of a Fan of Billy the Kid. Oh well other things happen as well.

- Road until 8 pm last night and got in 50 miles. Good night sleep off the right side of this overpass.
-
- coming into Fort Sumner – where the grave of Billy the Kid is and few thousand Indians. When we remember our past, remember the mistakes not to make again
-
- Lunch at the Rodeo Grill – it’s open from 6am to 2pm.
-
- Checked into the Cornado Inn – Ironicly I was here a few years ago when driving out to John and Shay’s and John told me would be better to wait a few days before getting there, so I hung out in Fort Sumner at the library.
-
- This is neat 60s-70s motel, very clean and with all the usual amenities, mico, fridge, cable, free wifi, coffee pot.
-
- Like I said eveyday some good things happen – This is Tito the owner, desk clerk, maid and handyman – he gave me a discount since I was riding a bike. He has a lot of pictures of others who have ridden through including other recumbent trikes.

I really appreciate reading your journey. I am planing one from Kodiak, Ak to Lubbock Tx and back. When your journey is over I would really like to know your route.
Ambrose,
I ‘ll try to keep the route posted – I don’t have a definitive route laid out. Generally I am going to got to Visit Nutrioso, AZ not far off Hwy 60. Then Las Vegas, NV where my sister lives, Then north to Fernly, NV another sister, into Idaho at Deary to visit a Niece and her family. Prince George, Canada to Fairbanks, AK down to Haines, AK to catch the ferry to Bellingham, Wa.
I can tell you the Highway 60 is a great one from lubbock to Ft. Sumner.
Thanks for following and let me know when you start.
