Rainy Day in Grand Lake

After visiting the local library and taking care of some business (received fax pages for 10 cents each) we ate at Fat Cat - really good - and the waitresses encouraged us to raise some chaos in town before we left town. Out of Bob's ear shot, I mentioned Bob had raised some hell here 58 or so years ago - they all believed he had a lot more wild times left in him to let loose.

The clouds separated and the rain fell today. We decided to wait another day to drive the Trail Ridge Road in the park, but did visit one of the visitor's centers close by. Here's a picture of Bob talking to the rangers about the 'good old days' when he worked in Grand Lake. They were so helpful and even did some research to pinpoint which project he may have worked on. He couldn't remember exactly which one it might be.

We will check out lunch at Grand Lake Lodge tomorrow, too. We had wanted to stay there, since we had remembered it from our last visit, but only the restaurant is open for lunch. The Lodge is for sale and we played the CO lottery - no joy, so I guess we won't be the next owners.
