Lake City, Colorado - Tuesday adventures

 We headed out this morning to the Black Canyon of the Gunnison - what an adventure.  We were advised to take the cut-off to Hwy. 50 and it turned out to be a dirt road with nothing much to see.  We finally made it to 50 which was closed along the south rim.  We headed north on the road to Crawford along the north rim.  






We ate a picnic lunch out of our box (goes on every road trip) in Crawford at a city services building that had lovely grounds with several large trees but no bathroom facilities for the public.  We finally found a service station in the nick of time.  Something did a number on my tummy!  So I was about done with eating for the day.  
 

On the way back from dinner at the Packer's Cannibal Grill - we spotted a deer on the roadside.  I had a very light dinner of a grilled chicken sandwich.  Packer's Grill is named after Alferd Packer,  a mountain guide who supposedly resorted to cannibalism during a harsh winter trip in 1874.
