Since we came in on Friday, the afternoons are windy as all get out. The benefit to the wind is that almost all of the cottonwood tree blossoms have been blown away so here in the park, John isn't being to bothered to badly with allergies.
We went in to town yesterday for fuel, go to the Visitor's Center, go to a Farmer's Market where we bought some bread, and the grocery store. All the while we were in town (about a mile or two from where we are staying), the cotton was blowing and John started feeling miserable. Back to the rig we went. Nothing allergy medicine and a little nap couldn't help.
Picked up a lot of interesting information on the sights to see around here. We pretty much stayed around the rig to leave the working people the weekend.
On Sundays, the park puts on a bbq (hamburgers $2 and hot dogs $1) with all the fixings and everyone brings a dish to share. We had a nice time visiting and of course, the brought dishes were tasty. The park is putting on a chicken bbq on the 4th of July along with a raffle and entertainment. Of course, more potluck items to share. We were told at the Visitor Center, that the town of Gunnison puts on an excellent fireworks display. We were told to bring our chairs to set up across from the park from where they light them off. Sounds like fun.
Tomorrow, the wind is suppose to die down so maybe we can get out and about without John feeling so run down. We will have to determine what our first exploration will entail. Stay tuned.
