| Silver City public - not a big photographic day |
Said goodbyes to our people at the Gila Hot Springs and redid the long twisty back to Silver City in route to Canyon de Chelly national cliff dwelling. S invited the 29 year olds to Langley. Why just them?
Back in Silver City things went a little haywire in the afternoon: in the library I was joined by an old woman wearing a cloth over her mouth and nose and one green glove who began to have trouble with her off brand tablet which led to a long series of people trying to help her get rolling past one digital snafu after another with ultimate goal of logging into a genealogy site; she was not the least a crazy but really naive with computers, S went off on bike to get coffee, an assortment of knives and some exercise and I met her a couple doors from the library at a Mexican place where the front door led into the kitchen and the back into the tables, S continued her bike wander so I moved the car under a tree and mounted the bike and visited a vape shop, 3 bike stores and many back streets with interesting old deserty houses finding the city's road layout bizarre. After 2 or 3 hours of this kind of thing including the inevitable ransacking of the car for things hidden long ago we took our two leftover tacos and hit the road to Springerville, AZ and this totally acceptable America's Best Value Inn where we finished those tacos and did laundry. Springerville feels more like the unvarnished West than even the Gila Hot Springs which except for the hot springs was pretty unvarnished.
