Starting my Monday Bus Ride series... 'till they close the Lincoln Forest down, I'll hop the hyper cheap bus up to the Casino, then head out and over into the National Forest. There's lots of potential hiking... and another connecting bus line to get me across town to hit even more trails.

At 7,000'+... 15 degrees cooler than Alamo... nicer breezes... and some trees to share a bit of shade. It is not as nice as the 9,000' hiking out of Cloudcroft, but it is only a fifty cent bus ride!

After the hike I hit the Casino for some free hydration at the self serve fountain... and to compensate, gamble my $2 limit! Today, that paid off with a $20 jackpot on the quarter slot. My system: cut and run if I hit more than $1...

6am... Bus Stop in Alamo
7:15am... Casino
7:30am... on the trail
11:15am... back to the Casino
...drinks and slots...
Noon... on the bus home
1:30pm... back in Alamo... heading to the library for wifi...

Now... home for a nap. Only 3-4 hours of sleep, so it will be tomorrow before I write today's trails up! GPS batteries died... got to go study the map to determine the mileages! Oh, well...
