March 28 Silver City to Caballo Lake 77 miles

Today is the day we climb Emory Pass - a height of 8,228 - my highest climb ever. It was slow going as it was really cold - there was snow on the pass. We talked to some locals and snow this time of year is rare, but they too have had a late spring with lots of rain/snow this year.

There was a great down hill after the summit! And then we find out our day is not over...

We had hoped to finish our day in Hillsboro but there wasn't anywhere to stay soooo, even tho our "tanks were on empty" we cycled on to Caballo Lake. Another 17 miles - we were pooped!
