Day 8. Only 117 miles today. Santa Fe to Albuquerque via Madrid (wild Hog's movie town). Also had lunch with the Jim and Cathy Green whom we first met in Malaysia some 30 years ago. Susan (the luckiest girl in the world) had seen them a couple of years ago but I had not seen them for 17 years. They had not changed much (much the same as I). The thought I had over the last few days is how the explorers found their way through pretty tough country. Tomorrow the six other riders arrive. The fun will begin.
