Drove today from Creede to Lake City, Colorado. Route 149 took us past an old clay mine (most of the other mines in the area were silver mines) up over the Spring Creek Pass (10,900 feet Continental Divide) and then the Slumgullian Summit @ 11,530 feet. We passed the headwaters of the Rio Grande River that starts here and then goes down to form a large part of the Texas / Mexico border.
Had lunch in Lake City at Packer Saloon & Cannibal Grill. Great outdoor patio seating that allowed Tucker and we had a nice lunch.
We all got together later for dinner – Jim & Emmy cooked a great chili with all the fixings. We were joined by Don’s brother Mark and hid wife Marsha who drove in from Arkansas.
