It was like a sound machine last night listening to the rain peppering on the top of the camper. Only better, it was the real deal.
We got up around 7 am this morning. I expected to pull up the shades and find a dreary cloudy day. Boy, I was wrong. The sun was a shinning, but it was a cold 45 degrees.
We stayed inside playing on the computer until it warmed up. We took a 5 mile, 30 flight hike in the Centennial State Wildlife Area. The only wildlife we saw was a rabbit and chipmunks.
We decided to check out another campground closer to the dam. We rode our Harley up the steep, dirt road to a campground with 12 campsites with an amazing view overlooking the Blue Mesa. This looks like our kind of place.
We left Blue Mesa Escape Campground and decided to check out a couple of boondocking sites around Crested Butte. We got wet three times before we got back to Gunnison Lakeview Campground. Needless to say, we parked the Harley and got in the truck for the ride to Crested Butte.
It was a very, scenic, bumpy, dirt road to the primitive campsites. It was 52 degrees, with rain on and off, and a little bit of hail. We saw deer, a coyote, and a bunch of chipmunks. We have decided that these sites would be great in a tent or small camper, We think we will stay closer to civilization.
Terry and Judy took the leftover boiled shrimp and made twice baked potatoes. Awesome way to eat potatoes and leftover shrimp. Tomorrow is move day for the McLaurin's, we plan to move a few miles down the road for a different view.
