Day 26
Drove today from Monroe Louisiana to LaFayette Georgia. Good drive. A few light showers.
After 31 days and just over 9000 miles the trip has come to an end. Saw more things and people than had planned. Some neat new experience. Taught 3 classes online while traveling and maintained web sites for several groups. If I do again I will not teach 3 classes online, just 1 or maybe 2 (but really 1). Shot about 1000 pictures at BB gun match and over 1500 on rest of trip. Got to get all of them edited now. Will post ASAP.

Day 24
On the road back to Georgia.
traveled from Deming New Mexico to Big Spring Texas. Stopped at Mexican product and saddle blanket store in El Paso and got a couple things. In midland Texas had a dust storm hit that was mixed with rain. different. Most of way was desert at high elevation and mountain climbs.
Last night woke myself up talking in my sleep. I have known for years I talk in my sleep but never woke up with the conversation going from in sleep to realizing i am in bad awake talking to someone in dream.

Day 23
Saw in local travel magazine that the Gila Cliff Dwellings are only 100 miles away and that you can go in them. Today we went up there. Nice ride but took almost 3 hours.
The park was great. You hike about 1/2 mile straight up and then you walk in the dwellings. In some cases you climb a ladder and look in, in others you walk in. The wood in structures is original and the ceilings were smoked over when used 500-1000 years ago. They were impressive. In the hike up you go thru area that was burned in the massive New Mexico fire last month.
Went back to Deming and spent the night.

Day 22
Went from Tucson Arizona to Deming New Mexico. Went down past Tombstone but raining and have been number times so did not stop. Drove by Bisbee and stopped at Lavender Pit (former copper mine) that is huge. Took pics. My dad worked for a time when young as part of complex.
Drove on to Douglas Arizona and drove by and took pic of the house my grandparents lived in when I was growing up. Looked around town too. Then on to Deming. Stayed at Grand Motor Inn, a motel out of 60s that is still same but clean and nice. has restaurant and bar and spread out.
