Had the best night sleep in a long time last night! Lately, I’ve been waking up at 4:30 am and not being able to get back to sleep, but this morning, I quickly went back to sleep every time I woke up. Really quiet here, yeah! After doing some research, we decided to run down to the other campground we’re considering to check it out today, as there is a hay farm very nearby, and we could kill two birds with one stone. After breakfast we headed out in the truck, first to the Gilbert Ray County Park, where we met Billy, who showed us the area that they had decided they could allow horse camping (they don’t usually, but are making an exception for us), which turned out be much nicer than we thought, and since it is so close to the trails at the west unit of the Saguaro National Park, we may decide to move over next week. Afterward, we headed down to the hay farm just down the road, and looked at their alfalfa. It seemed a bit greener than what we had had before, but it still seemed a little more stalky than what we like. Only way to find out if Clio will eat it is to try it! We bought 6 bales for $13 each, less than what I had planned, but they wouldn’t accept personal checks or credit cards, so I had to use cash. In any event, at least it solved our problem temporarily. I spoke to several growers in Las Cruces, with plans to get a full load on our way to Austin next month, since New Mexico is famous for their alfalfa. Arrived back at camp to discovery someone had come in during the day and parked on the other side of the yard, with two palominos in two of the uncovered corrals. Back to routine chores, and settled down for the evening.
