Gunnison Car Show

John went for a 30 mile bike ride this morning (his hammer day) while I messed around here. I did have a nice conversation with my sister this morning.  Always nice to get caught up.

After lunch, we hopped on our bikes and road downtown to check out the car show. As luck would have it, we were on the wrong side of Hwy 50 for the car show.  However, we did come across the park where they had tents set up with vendors selling a variety of items. Had no idea this was going on also this weekend.  We strolled through the area looking at a few of the booths.  This is where John is really happy that I am not a shopper LOL.  We did find a booth with some beautiful framed photography.  Gorgeous pictures of landscapes, wildlife and such.  Good thing we don't have any wall space to hang any pictures because we might have been tempted to buy.

With the car show going on across the street, they had a temporary cross walk set up so you could easily get across Hwy 50.  That was real nice.  We walked along looking at all the various cars.  It is surprising to see cars that we grew up tagged as "classics"; are you kidding me, from the 70's?  Are we really that old? Due to technical difficulties, the slide show of some of the car photos have been removed.

With the car show and the other vendor show going on, the little town of Gunnison was really bustling this afternoon.  We bought some water as it was rather warm out in the sun as we strolled looking at cars.  It still amazes us that the thermometer can read only 84 degrees and yet, it is down right hot out in the sun.  Must have something to do with the elevation.

Once we were done with the car show, we hopped back on our bikes and headed home.  A tall glass of ice tea was in order which was sipped outside enjoying the afternoon albeit doing so while sitting in the shade.
