Summer 2018, Day 15: Tisha B’Av in Albuquerque

Shabbos in Albuquerque was hot, with a high of 106.  We were only able to run one air conditioner from the outside outlet at the Chabad, so it was pretty warm in the RV as well, but with the new center-mounted A/C unit we were able to keep the living room livable.

Today is Tisha B’Av, so services at Chabad lasted until about noon.  After midday, we closed up the RV and continued west into Arizona:

We had great clouds in the late afternoon:

Tonight we’re dispersed camping near the ghost town of Two Guns, Arizona.  I hope to fly my PPG to Meteor Crater tomorrow morning:

I went roller skating again.  I was seeing how fast I could go on this stretch, I got up to 24.4 MPH:

I skated out to the “life of the marsh” trail:

The N family came from Monsey to see us.  We took them on the “life of the forest” trail:

After we said goodbye to the N family, we walked the “life of the dunes” trail, which includes a fragment of the old Baltimore Boulevard:
