Enjoying an eating festival!

We are in an "eating frenzy"!   The group went to dinner Friday night at the Cliffview Restaurant.  The owners were originally from El Segundo, California and now live in Tierra Amarillo, New Mexico.  This is just a few miles south of Chama.  It was raining with some thunder and lightning but that didn't stop us!  The restaurant is like a little log cabin.  Everyone was very friendly and our steaks were delicious!  The view isn't bad either!

After dinner we headed back to the campground.  We came upon a group of does being fed by a couple of young women.  They offered to let us feed them so Linda and I did!  They were pretty hungry!  On down the road we found the bucks!  They are so bold they just come right up to the truck.  With the size of their antlers, we decided to take pictures from inside the truck!

On Saturday Ted and I went to the El Vado Lake State Park to a craft fair they were having. It was a pretty lake and they said 30' low from the drought. Until the turn of the century there were tons of Ponderosa Pines but the loggers came in and have taken them all down without replanting replacement trees. It is still a pretty park.

It was a very small craft fair so Ted and I looked around and headed back to the campground.  We didn't want to miss another chance to eat after all!  We had a potluck and one of the Lindas cooked a couple of pork tenderloins.  The rest of us provided side dishes and dessert!  Everything was great and we were all full again!  After dinner we sat around the fire and found out how everyone mate their mates.  All four of the other couples have been married 40+ years!  I think that is so great!

Today we had brunch at the High Country Restaurant in Chama.  They cook your eggs and waffle to order and have plenty of side dishes.  Everything was delicious!

Not missing any meals in Chama..."Ain't Life Grand!"
