Tuesday, 9/25
Last night it rained off an on for hours. And it was cold. Fortunately it stopped long enough for us to hitch up. It was 43 degrees when we left our campsite on top of the canyon. By the time we descended to Montrose, it was 53. We found a tire guy who diagnosed the slow leak in one of the RV tires (nail) and repaired it for us, all in about 20 minutes, for $15. What a deal. In the town of Palisades (fruit and orchard central) we found a small library where Nils did travel research and I posted to the blog. By late morning it was raining again. We're on our way to Rifle Gap Reservoir State Park, where they have campsites with full hookups. Stopped at Walmart on the way where Nils found a small inexpensive space heater to take the edge off of the very chilly nights/early mornings.
The Reservoir water level is VERY low, besides, it's cold and damp, so not very enticing for kayaking. Hopefully we'll find some good hiking tomorrow.
Nils had this bumper sticker made for the RV (adaptation from the Book/Movie "Eat Pray Love").
