June 30 through July 3
Sue’s brother, John and his wife Neva came to visit us. We had a great time just being together and also saw some beautiful scenery. On Saturday we took them to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Even though we had been there earlier it is such an awesome site you can enjoy it over and over. We also drove down the East Portal where the 6 mile tunnel was dug through the mountain for irrigation to the Montrose area. The project was started in 1901 and completed in 1909. Some interesting information about this project can be found at: http://www.nps.gov/blca/webvc/gtunnel.htm.
