- head wind into Socorro, NM down I25 freeway. The car speed limit is 75mph. The bicycle maximum speed is only limited by the head wind and rider about 10mph avg for me.

- The rest stop on I25 – meet some folks a mother and adult son from Norway – been here in the USA 9 years kind of traveling around the US, living out of a car. Have a different view of things than others I have met. One thing about this trip any preconceived ideas I had about people in general are surely challenged, which is good. Maybe by the time I am full circle back to Tucson, I and Michael(my grandson) will have new ideas about stuff. Perhaps you will get a different thought for yourselves out of this journey.

- the mountains look really far away and yet Socorro, is 15 miles ahead on the other side of them. The wind is what makes them far away. Kinda of like goals we set they seem so far away, and then it is only the struggle that make them seem that way.
-
- Made it into San Miguel Church by 4 pm in time for vigal mass. It begins to work out as well we want it to – the motel, a Walmart and grocery store are all with in 4 blocks.
-
- The view from the WalMart parking lot – the wind is up and the clouds are coming in another storm is on it’s way, Glade I am tucked in at the Economy Inn motel.
