A rest day and, for the last time, an opportunity to get supplies for the last two days. Now in Silver City, my finishing date is clear so needed to organise my way back into the real world. Most of the day was spent securing the 150mile ride from Antelope Wells to El Paso, locating a bike shop to box my bike, accommodation, flights, etc.
Outside, it rained all day, nonstop. Plus, the forecast, which changes by the hour, currently shows we may be riding in it.
Downtown Silver City
In better weather & with more time, Silver City would have been a great place to explore. As with the Pinos Altos, Indian attacks on the town caused the place to be abandoned in the 1860’s. It was the home of Billy the Kid – for which much is made. The place also has good walks & nearby historical sights dating back to the Spanish occupation & before. Indian tribes around here were some of the most advanced in the North America.
