July 26, 2013 Friday, Day 38 riding, Day 56 of trip.

Had to ride 17 miles on the I-10 Freeway from Lordsburg to the Road Forks Exit.  Safe ride as the emergency lane was wide and not a lot of trash and debris on it.

Two dogs chased me as I turned onto SR 80 at Road Forks and were barking like they wanted a piece of my leg.  But I made friends with them when I turned in under an abandoned gas station canopy and ate some chicken wings and gave them the bones.

A few miles before I got to Rodeo, NM a huge transport trailer was parked alongside the road.  It was loaded with a gas compressor bound for Tijuana, Mexico from Denver, CO.  This compressor keeps gas flowing thru a pipe line.  The crew transporting it was very friendly and they asked me about what I was doing and I was asking them about what they were doing.  More than 110 tires support this total load of trailer and diesels.  While I was at the Cafe in Rodeo the crew came in for lunch and sat down with me and we talked some more.  I rode on to the monument and about 10 minutes later they came down the highway escorted by four highway patrol cars clearing traffic off the road so they could pass.  It was something to watch.

While waiting for some of my family to arrive and cook dinner I watched a fantastic sunset.

My son Curtis, son Scott and his son Weston, son in law Wayne Smith and his son Brigg arrived about 7:30.  Then we enjoyed a delicious  steak dinner with pasta salad, fruit, and assorted soft drinks.  Awesome!!!

Then a good nights sleep in a cool cloudy night.
