July 4, thru July 10, 2006
John and Neva left early in the morning. By noon here it was raining. It let up for a while about dinner time so we went to town thinking we would go to the July 4th festivities and then see the fireworks show. But by 6 pm it was raining again. We went home and decided to forget the fireworks this year even though it did appear to clear up about dusk. It rained off and on every day since. We couldn’t even get to the grocery store without being rained on when we came out of the store. On Monday July 10 we had reservations to go on a boat ride Morrow Dam portion of the Gunnison River. It was a beautiful sunny day in the morning as we made our way to the boat dock. We had to walk down a trail 232 steps and a walk on level ground for ¾ mile. The canyon was beautiful with high rock bluffs. The trip was quite nice. It clouded up just after we started our ride and was sprinkling by time we arrived back. Just after we got back to our car from the walk back up the trail, it started raining and was still raining when we got home about an hour later. We are tired of rain but they need it very badly here.
