Black Canyon of the Gunnison, South Rim CG

This view is from within our site. Pretty tight but made it work.

View of our site from the “front.” This is what people saw when they walked by our site on the loop. We’ve decided we don’t really like this look. We thought it was kind of “trashy.”

We used our privacy popup as a shower this time. Worked pretty well. It also added privacy to our site since there was a family right next door that looked directly into our space. By strategically placing our popup we were able to block some of the view.

All set to go. We’re heading to Black Canyon of the Gunnison South Rim. Just as I was about to drive off I remembered to take a photo for a point in time.

Camping close to home

We’ve been wanting to stay at the Angel of Shavano campground ever since we checked it out this spring before it opened. We had our favorite spots pre-selected and were happy when we got site 10. It’s right on the creek which is running big right now because of the snow melt.
We’re stocked and paid for for the next three nights and may just stay longer. Rick made a run into town this morning to do a little work and come back with some things we forgot. It’s 15 miles back to the house.
The bike ride four miles back to highway 50 is steeper than we thought. 1600 vertical for the 10 miles Rick rode our first day here. I’m still working up the courage to just do it.
We enjoyed a tasty meal and fell asleep to the sound of the creek and rain. Life is good.
Friends John and sherry plan to join us tomorrow. There’s lots of open spots but more campers tonight than last night. We wonder if it’s ever full.

These two guys walked through our campsite on the first day we were here. Moose One and Moose Two!
