For the second day in a row there would be no early hitting the road. Took my time checking out of the Sun God Lodge and decided to take the scenic way to Dixon, rather than just zip down Hwy 68 along the Rio Grande. Drove down NM 518 to near Penasco, then on to Dixon on NM 75. Got there a little before noon, so had time to drive over to another favorite spot in nearby Rinconada, Sopyn's Fruit Stand. This place has been a fixture along Hwy 68 for about 50 years. I first stopped there on a trip with my Mom about 20 years ago. Anna Sopyn, the hard-working Ukrainian woman with leathery skin and brilliant blue eyes was in her 70's back then. I last stopped there about 5 years ago, and I wondered if she was still manning the stand, selling her peaches and crafts. Yep, still there and going strong in her early 90's! Awesome. I asked if I could take her picture, but she declined. Visited briefly, bought a few peaches, and headed back over to the winery for some grape juice.
