Day 19 Thursday August 8
A lovely day with clouds in the mountains. We went back to the Great Sand Dunes, but did not find a trail that worked for us other than a nice nature trail. There were lots of families enjoying sledding on the dunes. We headed on through lots of potato fields and,we think, flax fields. Judy wearied of the long trip down the pass to get there, but we had a nice picnic in a lovely Gunnison park, which revived her spirits. Of course, the rain began to chase us as we explored the Curecanti National Recreation Area.
Had a good hike just below the Morrow Point Dam where we observed a silt laden stream emptying into the lovely green waters of the Gunnison. On to a good campground in Montrose where we found the City Market grocery store to have a salad bar. These have disappeared in New Englad, but they really work for tenters like us. Sprinkles, but no rain of consequence.
