Day 17 Lordsburg , enforced rest

---

Oct 5th
Well the thunderstorm did come and from about 4am till 8am the heavens opened, I was dry inside the tent but everything around got a good soaking. By 9 I decided to cancel cycling and take a cabin for $34 and rest till everything was dry. I was reasonably productive changing the rear tyre which had a slow puncture , repairing my yellow sacks which had suffered abraison damage, and finaly sorting out the mattress with a permanent repair. All this and a siesta too ! In Lordsburg there is not much to do , my retiree friends tell me that the ghost town of 'shakespear' which is nearby is a massive dissapointment so I give that a miss. I t pains me to loose a day but it was a sensible decision.
