Saturday, May 5, 2018.    It was another beautiful morning so we decided to hike at Petroglyphs National Monument. We have been there twice before and we have been amazed at the amount of petroglyphs that we could see.  Both times we went there we hiked the Piedras Mercadas trail. Today we decided to try the other one that allows dogs.  It is called Rinconada Canyon Trail, a 2.5 mile loop.  Unfortunately it was a big disappointment!  There were not very many petroglyphs and they were too far away to see very well. Pops did get some pictures of the few that were close to the trail, but it was nothing like the Piedras Mercadas. Anyway, it was still a nice way to spend the morning. We hiked with another couple that had just started full-timing and had been to many of the same places we have been. It was fun visiting with them. After lunch we went back to Old Town and walked all around the Plaza. It is Cinco de Mayo today so the Plaza had live music and booths and lots of celebrating.  We did a lot of walking today, 5.5 miles, around 15,000 steps on my meter.  Whew!
