We left Santa Fe and headed for Denver with an overnight stop in Raton, NM, just a few miles from the Colorado border. We stayed at the Raton KOA, no frills just a level gravel pull-thru long enough to to leave the truck hooked up to the RV. When we checked in the camp hosts, Marilyn and Wendell, told us it was two-for-one at K-Bob's Steakhouse. I said we weren't planning to unhook but they said it was walking distance. I checked and it was just under a quarter mile...not far, though at 7000 feet with my altitude issues, it was far enough. We decided to go...who can pass up two dinners for the price of one!
We started out walking and saw Wendell and Marilyn in their truck. They stopped and asked if we were going to K-Bob's; when we said yes they said they were too and offered us a ride. When we reached K-Bob's they invited us to join then at dinner and we happily accepted.
The food was nothing to write home about (steaks were not included in the two-for-one) but the company was great! They are from Vermont and said this is their third time camp hosting in Raton. We talked all through dinner and for quite some time when we returned to the campground. Wendell and Jack finally drifted back to their respective RV's, had they not I think Marilyn and I might have talked much of the evening!
All in all, a routine overnight turned into a nice social evening. The next morning we crossed into Colorado and headed for Denver.
