Layover in Mimbres




MIMBRES, NM. May 19 and 20th, days 13 and 14.

DOUBLE CLICK ON THE MAP FOLLOW THE RED LINE TO SEE ERIN's PROGRESS.

Fred and Shirley Sova are wonderful people. On Saturday Shirley took Erin shopping in Silver City. They went to the feed store, Walmart for a camera media card, and then picked up a new pair of chaps and a shovel (required to carry by law) to replace those lost in Pine Flat Canyon. Also picked up a fleece lined saddle pad for Yoakum. That night these amazing and awesome people fed her again; pork chops and the favorite peach pie. On Sunday rested again (horsewoman and animals). Did some saddle modifications and mapped out the upcoming route for the 2nd leg of the expedition over the Continental Divide and through the Aldo Leopold and Gila Wilderness Areas.
