Day 17 Bob and Kate's Great Adventure

We left Phoenix and headed South East. We went down to Tucson and across to New Mexico. On this day we went the furthest south we would go and then start back North and East.

We decided to stay the night in a little town called Silver City. There was a Silver Rush in these mountains in the 1800s and this town was formed. There is a Big Ditch in the middle of town that was formed during a couple of floods. This town had an interesting history and was also where Billy the Kid grew up.

After finding a cute little café for lunch we checked into a motel on the north edge of the town and then headed back to the downtown area and most of the stores were closed.

I did find a cute little shop that gave me an idea for my kids after I am gone! I'm sure they will love the idea! We walked around awhile and then had a lazy night in the motel watching TV and sewing.

*** After leaving town the next day headed North, we realized that most of the town was north of our motel.  We had plenty to do if we would have found it the night before.

Just a quick video today:
