Day 41: July 22 Nice and relatively easy ride

We rolled into Cuba, NM, 43 miles, got in early and will dry out our stuff before heading out into the desert tomorrow.  It is now time to trade in our aluminum horses for Camels.  The heat is on and the monsoon season has arrived early, so every afternoon there is some rain and a storm.  We are on schedule to finish up on July 30, maybe the 31st.  Thank you Leif for the cold water today, again, it was a boost to get us into town.  The cattle troughs were dried up and we almost had a stand off with a momma cow that did not want to get out of the way.  Thank you to Winsor, who donated $20 to us at the restaurant today, that was very kind and generous.  I will try to update pics at another time, sorry for the delay, internet is limited, and the blog takes up a lot of time.  We are over our goal, we made it before entering New Mexico, so thank you to all the donors!!  Let's see how much we can raise before we finish in another 7-8 days.  Blog you later!
