The weather has turned on us! For the first time since mid-July it is raining. The rain started as we drove to Durango, quit before we got to Wolf Creek Pass and then started again Wednesday night.
John was able to do some fishing on Thursday morning but then the clouds moved in after lunch so we drove up to Creede to use the internet at the Visitor Center and then to do some shopping. We had a couple of drinks at Tommyknockers Bar and enjoyed visiting with a couple who had been in the Baja last February at a place we had been the year before.
We tried to build a fire last night but the wood wouldn’t catch and then it started raining again. This morning was nice with sun and clouds and got up to the low 60’s for a short time. John fished (he had a little bit of luck) and I walked along the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad track. There is a small diesel car that runs from South Fork to near Creede once a day. They stopped at the campground to use the toilet so I got to visit with a couple of the passengers.
Right after lunch more clouds rolled in and it started to rain and spit a little snow all afternoon as the temperatures started dropping down to 40! It is supposed to get below freezing tonight! I think John may appreciate a dinner at a restaurant so he doesn’t have to freeze while cooking on the grill. And we will move on to a warmer climate in Pueblo tomorrow. It’s too early for snow!! Brrrrr!
