| Where we are now at home with the Cunniffs - Catherine and M. Mercury at their airbnb in Las Cruces NM - a fine day in out of the wind and dust |
 |
| camp at Gila Lower Box yesterday afternoon - tent to the left, S in the middle and car out of frame to the right |
 |
| tricky spot to dip but refreshing |
Woke to cool and what appeared to be overcast but we were down in the bottom of a canyon (Gila Lower Box Wilderness Study Area - which means there is nothing there that hasn’t been there for the last few thousand years i.e. no picnic tables, or toilets or nice ranger ladies) so it wasn’t all that certain what was happening above. Anyway we got out of there which as mentioned was a concern. Turns out the overcast was not overcast but dust raised by the predicted wind storm which was fine with us since as mentioned we were really only concerned with escape and keeping the car. Which we did. Lordsberg for breakfast at Kranberry’s Chatterbox where I had the Gold Pan - chunks of chicken fried steak with pan potatoes and gravy with two poached (the healthy choice) eggs on the side; I don’t really know what S had since I didn’t look up from my Gold Pan until later.
Heading for Las Cruces to stay with some Cunniffs, Catherine and M. Mercury, who are in town from the East for a wedding.
They are at a super little adobe with a walled and walled again li courtyard for my cot. See photo of the dining nook above.
C. and M. are off to the traditional pre-nuptial nuptial and rehearsal dinner up on Rattlesnake Mountain and so we won't see them for quite a while.
Met a sweet little dog, tiny but not at all creepy or angry, that may have belonged to the bride or the groom, or his mom, whose name was Vernon. I held him for a bit and it was a very grounding thing for us both, I believe. Him because of his wedding anxiety and me because my dog is not here.
