Silver City - Over the Mountain On 152

It was almost warm when I left Rex & Robin's around 11:30 with blue skies and puffy white clouds. After getting supplied in T or C, I headed for Silver City.

Highway 152 is prettier than going to Deming and back up, but it's still winter at Emory Pass. But something insisted that was the way to go. The forecast included the possibilty of snow, but The Pass was clear.

I had to pull over to let one pickup go by. It's nice to have an excuse to drive at 40 mph....breaking in a new engine.

It started to rain heavily as I neared town. Jean-Robert reminded me of my spot in the National Forest and though it was muddy with accumulations of hail, the fresh air and, most wonderful of all, the quiet made it all okay.

And the goddess smiled, and in her inimitable beneficence, stopped the rain long enough for me to unload and settle in.

Silver City - A Space

Jean Robert Beffort's (Zchahn Roe-bAre Bay-four) A Space Studio and Gallery is a bucket-lister's MUST. Now in its ninth year, he made $15.00 the day I visited, but magic is priceless!

Susan (ten years in Rodeo, on the NM-AZ border) and Alan (Tucson) came in and held us spellbound with tales of Moscow, Idaho, where Alan summers, and the topper, this performance by Susan....

I got an email in July, 2020, from a close friend of Susan telling me she'd died of sepsis after a recent surgery.
