After several days of hangin' close to home - thanks to Mary's painful pulled muscle - we ventured out on a road trip today. First stop was lunch at the "Stone House" in Montrose...quite tasty! Then, with our friends Art and June as tour guides we drove a little bit east of town to the "Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park." We had visited here eight years ago, but it was well worth a return trip. It was sunny and 80+* outside and we enjoyed stopping at the various lookout points. The canyon is 50 miles long and 2000 feet deep - much smaller than the Grand Canyon - but just as beautiful and majestic.

Tom and Art saw a bear while talking to the park ranger :-)
