Our tour of the town of Lincoln began around 10:00, led by Gwendolyn, the park ranger. She led us on a stroll through the historical town made famous by one of the most violent periods in New Mexico's history. We walked in the footsteps of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, and toured most of the 17 structures that make up Lincoln State Monument.
We ate lunch at the Wortley Hotel and nearly threw the wait staff into a tizzy, since we're still off season and they weren't used to such a huge crowd. It was well worth the wait, and we had a nice visit with Paige and Ray, Cissy and John and Chuck and Maggie.
After arriving back in Carrizoza, we decided to tour the town. It didn't take long, but we paid a brief visit to Roy's Gift Gallery (and soda fountain). It reminded me of the one in Sutter Creek back home.
The town also has a Burro Into Art display of burro statues that have been artistically painted scattered throughout the town.
Back to camp where it was WINDY. Larry walked the boardwalk over the lava beds and took pictures. Easter is tomorrow and so is our cookout. Hopefully, we can squeeze in the reenactment at Fort Stanton.
