Long day today, felt pretty good aside from my blisters feeling sore. 25-ish miles covered. Today was HOT, especially with a longgg flat shameless crossing of a plain. I tried to push through the whole thing but had to stop 3/4 of the way through at some partial shade with cow poop and flies everywhere. I didn't stay all hat long. I guess today really didn't have much shade at all sunset it was too winding to windy to open my umbrella up.

I found a spot where there was supposed to be a water trough but I suppose the rancher must have moved it somewhere else out here, forcing me to go a few more miles comeletely dry. Towards the end of the day around mile 20 I must have slipped into a daze and passed the water source off trail, which squeezed the last 5 miles out of me since I didn't want to sleep without any water. THAT water I finally made it to was called "Pyramid Peak". The water trough belonged to a herd of cows Big and small in the large pasture it was in. The most cows I've seen yet. The baby cows were hilarious because they sounded like someone was being murdered with every bleat they made. I couldn't stop laughing. I camped nearby and out of earshot of them so I didn't wake up thinking a crime was being committed.

With the miles I did today I should be able to get to my first resupply point in Lordsburg, NM.
