March 24 – March 29
Silver City is an old town in the mountains. Interesting history from multiple levels, Native American, mining, and now artists. So many beautiful colors and interesting architecture.
After we booked our stay we were reminded that Laura’s friends, Chris and Harry, live there! We made plans to go for a hike and on the 1st day in town e hiked to their cabin 2 miles up a dirt, rugged road where the stream crossed or was a part of the road something like 20 times (serious!) the stream wasn’t too bad, was able to keep my feet dry but was challenging especially with Benat napping on my back. Their cabin was awesome, a log cabin next to 100 year old apple trees. Somehow Matt nor I took a photo of the house. It was a great hike and Dexter was so excited! He was out of the desert and frolicking in the water.
The next day we drove up a scenic road to the Gila Cliff Dwellings. Beautiful drive and interesting cliff dwellings.
The last day we drove to The City of Rocks. Very interesting geological spot. Reminded us of Jumbo Rocks in Joshua Tree but very different type of Rocks. It is also a campground and we thought about heading there for a few days but the wind forecast was high and the site was completely exposed. Would not be fun towing days either. So we decided to stick to the plan of going to the Cosmic Campground the following day. That night had dinner at Chris and Henry’s house in town.
