Work Session B is halfway over - and the volunteers in Chama and Antonito took some time in the evening to get together for some good food and friendship! In Antonito, the volunteer dinner was held at the Mogote RV Park recreation center - barbecue hamburgers, grilled by Chef Russ Hanscom, plus lots of other treats. In Chama, Bob and Holly Ross hosted the volunteers at their home. It was time to take a break from the hard work - as evidenced by these photos:
