8-29-16 - Heat Escape - Day 18



                                                    Morning, cool and cloudy start to the day


We woke up to a cold, cloudy, day.  We took a ride to Gunnison and looked around in Gene Taylor's Sporting Goods store this morning, waiting for it to clear up.

George and Lisa got here this afternoon.  They have been traveling for the last couple of weeks and stopped here for a couple of nights before they head home.  They brought sunshine with them.


                                                               the arrival

We ate a quick lunch and took a ride.  It was beautiful when we left.  By the time we got to Taylor Lake, it started sprinkling.  We put on more clothes and continued with our ride to Crested Butte, and more rain. The mountain tops had some snow on them, that wasn't  there  a few days ago.

 It rained on and off and it was COLD.  Lauren said he was going back to Taylor's Sporting Goods and buy him some long johns and he wasn't going to take them off until he was back in Texas.

Lisa cooked hamburger steak.  A good hot supper, after a cold, rainy ride, really hit the spot.  Another beautiful double rainbow appeared and for the first time since we have been in this area, we actually had a beautiful sunset.



Hopefully, Mother Nature will give us some warmer prettier days for our next week here.
