Didn't sleep all that well last night. Felt pretty stiff in my feet, legs felt fine. Not like 20 miles of road walking was going help much. I took it slow though and made sure I wasn't clomping too much into Silver City. Taking Tyrone road all the way to Highway 90 wasn't bad, all dirt, and only families leaving the Burro Homestead RV park were leaving for home, likely due to it being a Sunday. Turning onto 90 I was greeted by a peloton of cyclists saying, "have a nice hike!" while heading out of town. I caught them on the way back heading into town, everyone waved from behind on the way in. I had to stop underneath a train overpass and take a breather. Walking on pavement feels like someone is taking a hammer to your foot with each step.

Several audiobook chapters later I came across a man in a burgundy van about to pull out onto 90, after I reached the outer edge of town. He asked if I needed a ride anywhere, i told him anywhere around the Motel 6. He seemed friendly enough. His name was Canuto, claimed he was an accordian player and Silver City was his hometown. The topic quickly detoured into "Gods War is Coming SOON.", "Be ready." I didn't really know what to say in reply to all his preaching, thought it was best to just let him speak. He drove slow I think so he could get his spiel out before he had to drop me off. He told me not to get tattoos because, "Your body is Gods creation, and if someone did he would go to hell" He proceeded to show me a tiny tattoo on his forearm. Looked almost like someone took a marker across it. Good thing he didn't see any of mine under my long sleeve shirt. He eventually left me with a little nugget of knowledge, "Don't get into drugs." I was like YES, NEVER. We pulled into a gas station next to the Motel 6. I thanked him saying "Gracias, gracias!" I've made it finally.

Once I checked in and washed up, I made my way to McDonalds and the resupplied at Albertsons. Dion somehow contacted me on social media and let me know that they rented a trailer for two nights. I told them I would swing by tomorrow after I checked out of the motel...
