The following day (1-7) I rode mostly
downhill from Mayhill to Artesia, a much larger town in the high desert. I enjoyed the last couple of days in the mountains
the scenery is much nicer than the flat desert where I have spent much of my time
lately. Some photos from yesterday and today:

I passed through Nowhere, New Mexico
(intersection of Rts. 82 and 13) today, but didnt need to find a place stay there
since I had stayed the previous night in Mayhill instead of Cloudcroft. Good thing, because there wasnt anything
there other than desert. Dont worry, Im not going through the nowhere
bit again. If I had anything to say, it
would be something about nothing, but nothing isnt on my schedule, so I believe
everything has already been said.
