Our trip this morning began with a stop at the Royal Scepter Gem & Mineral shop and museum in Silver City. It was a fascinating place with lots to see, but we didn't get a whole lot of information. We had a nice visit with the owner and she told us about an arroyo twenty minutes away.
So, of course, we took a ride past the towns of Bayard, Hurley and the airport where the road turned to gravel for a bit and then we dropped down into the riverbed. Fortunately, it was dry!
We grabbed our bags and started walking up the arroyo looking for valuable gems. We found pretty rocks, but nothing valuable. We spent at least two hours wandering and sharing our discoveries.
Then the clouds really rolled in and we decided to get out of the path of the storm. It never did rain but, wow, did the wind blow. When we arrived back at the coach, we were rockin' and rollin'. Doug prepared a fancy pizza for us and we were finally rocked to sleep. Never lost power!
