CAMPGROUND: 2nd night at Queen Mining Camp RV
WEATHER:  Rain, rain..all day and all night.highs in 50s

There was a cancellation, so we were able to spend another night at this RV park.  We awoke to puddles on the floor.  Oh, no!  We have a small leak around the air vent on top of the camper.  We were able to cover it with a tarp, and made an appointment to get  it repaired when we are in Tucson.

We went on the mine tour which had been recommended.  It was so interesting!  It was in operation Betweeen  in 1890 and 1975.  Copper was the main mineral, and they also mined silver and gold.  We donned protective gear and climbed aboard the ore train.



After the tour, we sloshed through the rain to downtown.  Brewery Gulch turned into Brewery River!  We returned to the brewpub and had their delicious vegan chile for lunch.

We stayed inside during the afternoon and evening, as it was too miserable to go out.  We are having record rain here.  

DINNER:  New Mexico pazole.  This is a popular Mexican stew using Hatch, New Mexico peppers.  It is a chicken soup with chunks of chicken, onions, and hominy.  Very hearty!
