Went to lunch today at Ft Garland, CO at the All Gon cafe. It was decided by some of the (high seniority  ) people here in the park, that it would be nice if - in lieu of a covered dish supper (too much work for a few people) - everyone went out to eat together as a kind of a going away party. It's that time of year when the summer RV'ers start leaving, going to their winter camping places, or in some cases, going home, so a lot of friendships are put on hold until they meet here again next year.  Approx. 40 of us trekked to Ft. Garland (pop. 300+) - on Hwy. 160, about 45 min. away in the direction of Alamosa, and the All Gon Cafe (yes, it really is spelled like that!) there has a reputation in this area as a really good eating place. I had an enchillada plate and it was delicious!
Went to Happy Hour at 4:00, then to Mass at 6. It was raining when I came out of church at about 7, and is still raining now at almost 9:00 - the most rain since I've been here!
