Ghost Ranch Sunset
On Labor Day, Kathy and I bid a reluctant farewell to the Rio Chama and drove the short distance to Ghost Ranch. Well, perhaps not so reluctant given the prospect of a warm shower after six days on the river!
We arrived a few minutes past the dinner closing time of 6:00. The
person at the registration desk called the dining hall staff,
and they kindly agreed to keep the cafeteria line open so that we could
quickly walk there and chow down on pork loin, potatoes, and veggies,
with pudding for dessert. It was tasty, but we had been spoiled by Mike Scudday's superb Dutch oven cooking while on the river.
Our walk back to the welcome center was perfectly timed. We looked up to find the sky on fire with another New Mexico sunset. Even Kathy's Prius enjoyed the spectacle.
Chimney Rock was silhouetted by the setting sun.
