We had an enjoyable, relaxing five night stay at the NRA Whittington Center near Raton, New Mexico, elevation 6,885 feet.  At this elevation the weather was cooler and the mountain views gorgeous.

Bill spent some time target shooting at their nice facility.  

The Santa Fe Trail passes through the Whittington Center grounds.  

They have a nice museum there as well with many weapons from the west.

One day we drove into Raton for lunch and a little geocaching.  

We stopped in the small local grocery store to pick up some items and noticed elk jerky for sale.  No thanks!
