Journal:
Julie went for an early run around Lordsburg while Dave tried to get some extra sleep after a bad night with an irritating blister on his right ankle. Not the good night's sleep he was hoping for.
We then had breakfast at the motel before working out what supplies we need for the next four days and purchasing them at a nearby little supermarket. Not as much selection, but OK.
The motel did our laundry for a small charge (US$7) and our new water filter from Amazon arrived at the motel yesterday, solving that problem. The next stretch of the trail to Silver City also has limited water, some from dubious sources, so we need the filter.
We'll also be climbing higher, having averaged around 1500m so far (the elevation at Lordsburg). Silver City is closer to 2000m and should be cooler.
After lunch at the very cheap Mexican next door, we had a lazy afternoon, including a nap, before going to another Mexican restaurant across the road for an entertaining dinner with some fellow CDT hikers - an outdoor education lecturer from North Carolina and a Russian maths professor now living in NY.
