We arrived here at the campground to find ourselves in a lovely campground strung along the Animas River. It reminded me a little of going up to Aunt Gladys’ place on the Toutle…the stream hurrying downhill. Today’s drive was short, just one mountain climb above 8000 feet.

We rested this afternoon, then the group went to the Bar D Chuckwagon for dinner and a show. Dinner was fun, and the show was a quartet along the line of Riders in the Sky…cowboy tunes, yodeling, and some comedy. They were great! We picked up a couple of CD’s…now all i need is to be at home where I have a CD player.

Before dinner they had a number of activities you could do…we took a nice little train ride, and Leila got to try her hand at a six-shooter. They had target shooting with a real revolver, with kinda real ammo. The bullets were filled with wax, but they certainly put real holes in the target. She got to keep the target, and received a certificate naming Deadeye Leila as a junior deputy.

Tomorrow takes us by bus to Silverton, CO, and then on a narrow gauge train ride back to Durango. It’s gonna be fun!
