We took a zero in Silver City today. Pat and I walked around town a bit and visited the museum. We also went to the Habitat for Humanity store where Pat picked up a couple of old ski poles. He wants them to help with the Gila River crossings in the next section.

Later in the day we met Race (Marty) who is an old friend of Pat’s daughter. He is here for Trail Days which starts tomorrow. We met Raps and Caroline at the Dairy Queen and walked around Silver City for a bit. Later we hung out with Race and some other hikers (Redbeard?) at the Silver City motor park where Race was staying. Pat went to the Trail Days party tonight, but I stayed in the room and went resupply shopping. Parties are not really my thing.
