The morning brought a foggy overcast, making for a slow start. A couple coffees and some oatmeal (albeit the "xxxx and cream" Quaker Oats versions, that was the only variety on the shelf in Reserve) got us moving, and we got packed up and underway. Lunch in Estancia featured the classic Navajo Taco, and fueled us properly for the day.

Socorro looks very very well washed this morning! Huevos Rancheros at Sophia’s, conveniently across the street from the hotel; they must make their own tortillas, they’re exceptionally good.

It started raining at 3am, I’m glad I packed most of my gear away even though it was cloudless when we turned in for the night! It sprinkled for half an hour or so, and I hoped that was all we’d get… but it really started raining in earnest around 6, and kept it up for more than an hour. So now everything is quite wet, and I had forgotten how this tent is just adequate in rain or condensation conditions; the foot of my sleeping bag is pretty soggy.
