Roger and Lloyd Payne putting up a steel crossbeam for the Family Pavilion across the street from the church house
Me tightening the bolts on the steel rafters for the Family Pavilion
Overlooking Lordsburg from a knoll just outside town. It was lightly raining
July 25, 2013 Thursday, Did not ride today. Day 55 of trip.
Caught up on blog.
Roger Payne then took me on a tour around Lordsburg and outside of town in the foothills where there were several old abandoned mine shafts and the ghost town of Shakespeare.
When Lloyd got home from helping at the Gila Valley Temple we went to the Family Pavilion site across the street from the church house and put some cross beams and assembled the steel pieces for the rafters. This will be a family picnic are for the community. It will include a horseshoe pitching area and a sand volleyball court. Any group will be able to reserve and use it.
I stayed the two nights in Lordsburg at Lloyds home about ten miles outside of town. We talked a lot about the bike riders riding in the Great Divide Ride. This is a race from Banff, Canada to Antelope Wells, NM. It is a hard grueling race down the Great Divide, or as near as they can get to it. About one-third of them drop out because of injuries or they discover that it's not for them. Riding in that race is NOT on my bucket list.
