New Plan for the next few days

Ok, based on the Post Office debacle, here's the way I'm gonna play it the next few days:

Friday 1/8/10 Plan:
  • Tomorrow @ 9 am, I'll call the Muleshoe Post Office and see if they got the 2nd package in (the one sent from Breckenridge) - yeah, it hasn't even got here yet - that ought to tell you something about Post Office parcel post - I mean a 47-year old fart riding a bicycle beat the freakin' package here!
  • If the package is here, I'll go pick it up - it had my little MSR pocket rocket stove, pot, cup, spoon, etc. and a sweatshirt. If it's not, I'll have to buy this stuff in Clovis also.
  • Ride 31 miles to the America's Best Value Inn in Clovis - it's on 84 on the way into town. I signed up for the "frequent flyer" program and got a room for $36 in Clovis - yay!
  • Check into the motel, unload my backpack and Action Packer.
  • Ride 3 miles down Hwy 209 to the Walmart and Big 5 Sporting Goods - buy all the stuff I need for camping out there.
  • Ride back to the motel and stay there overnight.

Saturday 1/9/10 Plan:

  • Leave the AMVI in Clovis and ride 65 miles to the Super 8 Motel in Ft Sumner NM.
  • Eat supper @ Fred's Bar.
  • Stay there overnight.

Sunday 1/10/10 Plan:

  • Ride 16 miles to Sumner Lake State Park and set up camp.
  • Hike around SLSP all day.
  • Sleep there overnight (and test out all the new gear!)

That's the new 3-day plan.
