Gran Quivira Ruins / Alamagordo

We went to Alamagordo for another century ride. It really was just a little family get away to visit our friends Kyle and Lisa because Jason did not train for this one. He ended up stopping at mile 55 of 110 (knees gave out- they are REALLY screaming at him today) but Kyle kept on going and Justin (Kyle's bro in-law pictured below) finished first out of 150 or so people with about 3 hours of sleep. He hit a little deer on his way down from Albuquerque between Socorro and Carizozo that took out his radiator. The tow truck finally hauled him into Alamagordo at about 2AM. He rode back into Albuquerque with us. Very nice weekend.

On our way to Alamogordo we stopped at the Salinas/Gran Quivira Ruins . Here's Allie taking a look around inside.

Allie wondering why the church made out of rocks is broken. It was like a maze inside. We ran around and played hide-and-go-seek for awhile.

Luke exploring the ruins.

Luke looks like he's posing for a Nautica magazine. What a cutie! I feel your pain, Jason. I had to sword fight Captain Hook yesterday for two hours and my whole right side is paying for it today. What is this getting old business?

You guys do so many fun outings. How fun. We need to get little more adventurous.

Peggany is not Peggy. It is my sister-in-law Krista. Krista, where does Peggany come from?

Krista Payne said...

No idea how Peggany got on there. We were making up words and it got put on as our name. Taylor made it up because it had eggs in it??
