Today we just took a nap, ran errands, and did rally stuff in the evening. Jaron went outside to get something off of his bike but was scared off by these wild animals.
We were exhausted from the long day yesterday and passed out after breakfast. Honestly, Julie had a bit of The Sad realizing that today was the last day with these amazing, badass, talented, kind women.
We got out for lunch where Julie was given a green mug and glass to go with her green shirt, hair rubber bands, neck gaiter, bra & socks. Jaron got a purple glass, there were all different colored dishes all over the restaurant.
Next we went to REI for a few things and then hit the grocery store bc we decided to stay for another night. We’re going to do laundry and didn’t want to be rushed and unable to enjoy the last night.
After we got back it was time for WIMA games and the women-only dinner. I had put this on my calendar as “Penis-Free Dinner” and that got a hearty laugh from the ladies. I’m funny only when it’s unintentional. I mean…I talk like this in my head all the time so it was surprising to get such a big reaction. 🤣

The next morning we said goodbye to everyone and helped out here and there with packing, bike issues and logistics. Then we started packing, ourselves, did laundry & route planning and then went out for dinner. There is a lot of rain in the forecast for the next week in the area we wanted to go, but we came up with the brilliant idea to do our route thru NM backwards and hopefully avoid some rain. We even picked out our first 3 stops to make the morning go quicker.
We went to get Mexican for dinner and saw the purple mountain majesty and a beautiful sunset from the road.
