Yesterday was a touring day…We wanted to go and explore the Black Canyon…We are in Creede and the Black Canyon is about 125 miles away…We left about 9:30am and drove through Lake City and up to Gunderson…We bought gas in Gunderson at two-fifty-seven…We have a 12 gallon tank and the car gets 33mpg…We left with a half of tank and it was showing a quarter when we arrived in Gunderson…I am really glad we bought the Saturn so we would not have to be conservative with our gas allowance…Last year we spent over five thousand dollars going to Nova Scotia…We are glad the prices are lower this season…We had lunch at the Pizza Hut and then drove to the Black Canyon…I wish the pictures could help you feel the atmosphere with the elevation close to 12000 feet… the cool air and the slothfulness of movement…We have been in this altitude for thee weeks now and are beginning to adapt…Well here are some pictures I hope you enjoy…
Rock formation on Blue Mesa Lake
Talk to you later…Philip
Really enjoyed the pictures of Black Canyon. The water was so blue and pretty at Blue Mesa Lake. David Wayne has been in the hospital in Tulsa for the last few days. He is back home tonight. So good to hear from you. Love, Sis
