mountains, mountains, and more mountians



We haven't had Internet or even cell phone signal for the past two days... We spent one night camping just west of Cuba NM and then last night we camped out in the parking lot of Appache Nugget Casino on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation. Staying at the casino was interesting... First it was SUPER windy when trying to set up tents, we could barely hold them from blowing away and ended up pace lining them behind the van to cut wind, lol. It was also Becca's 21st birthday soahe had a great location to celebrate! I chose to save my money and only watch the gambling take place :)

The last 3 days have been super hilly, with some great views from the top of mountains. Wednesday we reached over 9,200 feet in elevation! It was a sweet ride down... And I hit my max speed for the trip of 43mph. I tend to get scared going downhill and so I start braking at 30mph if not sooner... So you can imagine how fast some members of the group were going!
Today we are in Farmington NM at the First Presbytarian church. It seems like a nice town and the people are great. A few parishioners have been reading my blog for the past few weeks... Thanks! And I hope you enjoy it :)
