Supermarket

If you have been reading along, you know that we have just arrived in the mountains of Colorado, for the summer. We stopped for hanging flower baskets along the way, but didn't have room for them in the car. We will go back, and pick those up on Tuesday. We also didn't have room for groceries. So wont you ride along with me to the supermarket?
It is about sixty miles away. We hug the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River, about three quarters of the of the trip.
You must pay attention, as in some places, it is very close to the road.
I have a favorite little waterfall (my secret waterfall), where I like to stop, and see in the early summer..It is not out the way.
For some reason I never tire of the weekly drive.
Some interesting formations to see..and many times animals.
It does get a bit arrid when the river turns off to the west...and we continue on north.
Hey, I spy the Crested Butte ski area...another thirty or so miles to the north.
We have finally reached the Blue Mesa Reservoir, where we will go over a short bridge, and the road ends.
We will turn right, for another short nine miles into Gunnison..and you will finally find a supermarket!

  4. That is my sort of country - rivers, mountains, and forests, the added blue skies a bonus.

  7. Wow, now that's a trek to the store. Glad you made it safely. We stayed in Dillon last August. Loved it! I would love to have a home there for the summer. You are surely blessed!
