We are camped at Gunnison Lakeside RV Park. We had to unload the Harley yesterday before we parked, if we wanted to ride while we are here. And, we wanted to!
Last night was the first time in a long time that it was cool enough that we didn't run the air conditioner or fan. It was also cool enough that Fernykat had to get in the bed with us for warmth. Her loud purring woke me up. She got right between us, and every time I had one of those hot flashes and kicked off the cover, she would playfully nibble my foot. She is loving this cooler weather as much as we are.
We decided to take it easy today. We woke up to a cloudy, 54 degrees this morning. After lounging around for a while drinking coffee with the heater on, we decided to take a hike. We walked across the road to the boat launch, then on to a primitive campground. It was a great day for a hike. We returned back to camp after about 3.5 miles.
Terry and Judy went to Taylor Lake so Terry could check out the fishing. Terry saw the first moose he has ever seen in Colorado.
We took a ride close by on the Harley, cause the chance of rain was pretty high today. We had a pretty ride and returned home about an hour and a half later. When we left it was cloudy. The lake didn't look as pretty as when we were here five years ago. While we were riding, the sun came out, and we saw the true colors of the Blue Mesa.
We have iffy air TV here, so Lauren hooked up the satellite dish after we returned from our ride.
We had bought shrimp on the coast last month when we went to IP with Anita. We boiled shrimp, potatoes, sausage, and corn. Lauren and Terry got soaked by the rain before they could get the shrimp cooked. Luckily, we have plenty of room inside and we have an electric heater. It was pretty darn cold to be cooking out. We all enjoyed those gulf coast shrimp and fixings. Even though, we had to tough the cold, wet, elements to cook them.
We all wanted to escape the heat, and we got our wish. Stan ,the campground owner, told Lauren yesterday that the change of weather here is not for the faint of heart. It is rainy and bone chilling cold tonight for these rednecks!! Maybe, next time we might need to specify a little milder change of climate.
