8/27/16 - Rosy Lane Campground, Gunnison National Forest, CO

Jim, Jerry and I went for a hike today and Wanda stayed back at camp with Sally.  We hiked on the South Lotus Trail into the Fossil Ridge Wilderness Area of the Gunnison National Forest.  There were a lot of beaver dams and ponds along the way.  When we got back Wanda told us about the excitement at camp today.  A black bear was in camp following the river directly toward her.  She tried to grab Sally’s leash but before she could Sally spotted the bear and took off after it.  Sally scared the bear away.  Tonight we had sausage and chicken on the grill with green beans and potato salad.  We sat around the fire pit again tonight. I had a total of 20, 593 steps today and went to bed at 9 pm to read.
