My last day off. Melman, Dave, Andrew, and Jeremy all went to Raton with me. We got a room at the Holiday Inn Express to enjoy the pool, air conditioning, high-speed internet, a television, and a complementary breakfast in the morning.
Lunch was at the Oasis Restaurant in Raton-- an excellent, home-cooking eatery with delicious meals at amazing prices.
Andrew really liked the cherry pie.
We found a caboose and took a picture. Melman didn't jump, in case you were wondering.
And then we said goodbye to Brian, the seminarian from Minnesota. He was the first of our staff to leave Philmont, so we met him at the train station. It was the beginning of the end of the summer.
This is Mt. Raton. It's actually called Goat Hill, but I think Mt. Raton sounds better. And that's what the sign says anyway. We climbed this hill/mountain later that night.
And that's the way it was. We are the best 5 friends that anyone could ever have.
