Hit and a Miss

No, not the rig, our destination. Robb spied a few signs advertising Silver City in New Mexico and made a quick decision to pull off and check it out. It was about a half hour out of our way and completely worth the detour!

Billy the kid lived here and there are a few sites to visit. The downtown was vibrant, even in it's off season, with interesting and unique stores. Jamie found her personal guru at "It's Sew Much Fun" and we had a fantastic Spanish/Mexican dinner.



The miss involved Robb driving an hour down a very bumpy sand road in pursuit of some hot springs we had read about.

It was dark, the family fell asleep, but he pushed on, determined to wake up to some amazing healing waters.

He was in the pitch black on an ever narrowing sand road, seeing the next stretch in the tiny view of the headlights he decided best to just wait for morning, and that is where we woke up.

Right in the middle of the road.

So, up before sunrise he took the girls in the truck and went to find information at the camp entrance.

And there he found a very small sign saying, "Sorry, the hot tubs have dried up."

So sad.

Funny enough, we might go back if we pass again; for the unparalleled view of the night sky that the rest of us missed.
