The sun came out again this morning and everything is dry and beautiful here at the campground. There are lots of doggies and fishermen here, and it looks like most of them are here for the whole season. There are supposed to be huge salmon in Lake Gunnison, but you need a boat to catch them. The lake is 21 miles long and 334 feet deep in some places. Guess we will have to buy our salmon at the market.The ski area of Crested Butte is only about 50 miles from Gunnison and this weekend is the wild flower festival. While I stayed home and watched for the rain to start, they all went on another adventure without me.
Crested Butte was really very touristy with the main street filled with shops and restaurants. All of the buildings in town are painted to look like an authentic town of the old west. Here's a picture of Mt. Crested Butte and one of the city hall. Although they went into many stores, I didn't see any purchases except a bicycle horn that looks like a parrot. It squeaks like a dog toy and is driving me nuts!
