March 7, 2017. Deming New Mexico to Las Cruces New Mexico 60 wonderful miles. 854 miles from the Pacific. Horse and I left town just as the sun was peeking over the pink and blue horizon. It was 36°. The nice gloves that Pablo and Rachel bought me for my birthday came in very handy along with all my other cold-weather gear. I was thankful that I brought it all along, because I debated that decision in my head several times. A pretty uneventful day just me and horse along with the jackrabbits and one mean dog which I successfully out ran. Some trail magic just as I was about to run out of water as truck driver stopped and asked if I needed anything. He filled me up and was off on the road in less than a minute. Another act of random kindness which seems to happen to me almost every day. It’s slowly teaching me to accept and to be kind to strangers. I am staying at a warm showers host this evening with a couple other bikers. I hope you’re on the receiving end of kindness today. Cheers, Freebird
