I didn’t leave Farmington until early afternoon, spending the morning tending to all sorts of things. Paid my taxes, updated the blog, managed to get a package destined to my house to be sent to me care of the post office in Durango and replaced my two plastic water bottles with insulated ones. The latter is something I’ve been fantasizing about since the time I ran dry on day 3. I can now carry 6 liters of ice cold water, plus an additional 2 more should I need it (though I try real hard to avoid routes that do).
I tried out my new hydration system on the short ride up the road to Aztec, where I visited the ruins and found a spot by the river in the RV park next door. I opted for dinner in town instead of cooking my own (not gonna lie, I’m getting tired of lentils and pasta).
The main kiva has been reconstructed. Nobody knows for certain what the pits were used for. Nobody knows for certain what any of this was used for it seems.
