A drive through the forest!

We are still enjoying our potlucks!  Sunday evening after dinner we took a drive through the Rio Grande National Forest.  Just north of Chama and into Colorado.  We went about 7:00 p.m. hoping to see some wildlife.  It is about an 8 mile drive.  We finally saw some deer and elk.  The herd of elk were too far away to photograph, but the drive itself was so pretty!


Yesterday Ted and I took charge of the potluck making the main dish.  It was a Mexican Fiesta!  Ted made his mother's enchilada recipe (of course I did the dishes).  It took about an hour and half for him to prepare them and then another 30 minutes to cook.  There was a taco bar, homemade refried beans, homemade guacamole, jaleno poppers (you can bet I had some of those...right!), homemade salsa with chips.  I brought watermelon for the finale!   It was a great meal and and so we decided we needed to relax our tummies around the fire.  One of the RV'ers is parked right on the Chama River so we sat around the fire listening to the water and digested our dinner!  It was a fun evening.
