10-8-16 - Heat Escape - Day 58

                                                            last night
                                                            this morning
                                                                 we riding Shiprock pic

Last night, I went to bed with the heater on, 2 blankets, and a comforter on the bed.  I finally got over the chill from yesterday's ride around 2 o'clock this morning,  Ahhh finally warm!

We decided it was a take it easy kind of day.  We were slow to get going today, couldn't figure out a destination, so we headed west toward Shiprock  We got up close and personable to the "rock." She is  a beauty!!
                                                                          another

We made a quick trip into Arizona, turned around and came back into New Mexico.  We took an unplanned loop and  almost made it to the Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness.  When we got to the loose gravel road construction, we shut Amber down. We had a picnic lunch on the side of the road, and headed through the farmland back to Farmington.  It is the first pumpkin field we have ever saw and it was a beauty, in the middle of corn fields and hay fields.

                                                         southbound on US Hwy 666
                                                                       lunch stop
                                                                   pumpkin patch

When we got back to camp, Fernykat sat by the door with her head up, waiting for her collar so she could go out and explore.  Of course, we obliged.
                                                      when we got home, she did get up finally

Our take it easy kind of day turned into 175 miles of a relaxing ride, with low humidity, and beautiful scenery, enjoying going nowhere.
