Chuckwagon cookout

The day was overcast but was a decent temperature. Spent the day doing laundry, reading, and even took a nap (very rare for me). We watched the chuckwagon being set up in preparation of dinner being served at 6 p.m.

Items to be served: sirloin steak, fried potatoes, cowboy beans, and peach cobbler. Everything was prepared on site and cooked either on the grill or in dutch ovens. Almost everyone from the campground participated; something like 55 of us. The steak was very good, the fried potatoes were very good, and the cowboy beans were excellent. Everyone raved about how good they were. The peach cobbler was good but I prefer a dough type of topping. John and I chatted with Barbara, one Larry and Geri's neighbors, who was a delight to talk with. The weather cooperated and it was lovely sitting outside, eating dinner, and watching the sun set over the mountains.

A little past 8:30, we returned to our rig and John decided to take our aluminum cans over to the recycle bin. A half-hour to 45 minutes later, he returned. Yep, he got to talking to another rver/horseperson. Happens all the time! Another ending to a beautiful day here in Custer.
