Time to hang out on the river for a while with Sue and John, Judy’s sister and her husband.
We watched a thousand white-faced ibis fly past.
This morning before we left.
A 370 mile day. Not an uneventful day, but here we are at the Las Vegas, NM KOA for the night, right where we meant to be.
2014 summer/fall trip map Outside of town; and there is not that much to the town of Las Vegas, NM anyway. Pinon juniper forest. We’ve stayed here many times. Haven’t been here for several years though. They remembered us and made us dinner in their café. Green chili philly cheesesteaks. Warm day. Cool evening. The humidity is a little low. 17%. 
Sit in it and lean back.
It concentrates the sounds and the solitude. 
Johnny moved to Colorado and played in an electric folk country rock band; Slumgullion.
Johnny became the Red Baron.
I became an accountant.
All these years. All our separate adventures. We’re still great friends and make it a point to see each other every year now.
