Cocoon
Door Jim, Sheila & Grace - 25-08-2008 03:59Well after Cortez and our Injun friends we were motoring towards
Black Canyon (BC) of Gunnison but not before we visited the caves
of the Puebloans. Very impressive, see foto.
Then on to BC. The road from Cortez to Montrose was beautiful.
This is the real Colorado skiing country, this is your spot Lulaw,
foto. Eventually into BC. Shit were in the mountains.....alone.
8320 ft with no light, water or dump. first
night we were sitting admiring the beautiful night star sky ( have
never seen so many stars in one sky ??) when we heard Wolves. Well
3 into one door does not go but I was last in...
Next day we heard from the ranger that they were Cyotoes. Like that
made us feel real good. This
real remote here. Would give a mountain goat a nose bleed.
Anyway the walks and scenary are 'awesome' . After
two nights of WOLVES and no internet/telephone we moved today to
Gunnison. A very nice campsite but remember that film Cocoon (Brian
Dennehy)? Well there ar e a lot of 'mature' guests here and they
'checked us out' when we arrived. Scary. But first we went
thru the BC by boat fabulous.
By the way if I never see another episode of Friends it will be
fine, Grace has watched every frame a zillion times now. Apparently
I'm Ross?? Sheila is Monique and Grace claims she is Rachael. We
think she is Phebby. So that leaves Orla with the other one...
Well we are all starting to think about home....it has been a
long time, or so it feels. My battery is pieping at me so
signing off. If we dont get 'new energy' during the night after
swimming in the pool, think about it, I'll be back tomorrow.
Take care folks
Joey, Moniqe , and FEEBBY. Shes out horse riding now.
