There's water in the city park at the south end of town, but for drinking I recommend the water/ice dispenser across from the Riverside Convenience store....$0.25/gal.
The people passing through are from all over the world. It's a jumping off/resupply place the likes of which are rare -- the grocery in Driggs, Idaho comes to mind. Perhaps you know others?
Thanks to Mark Johnson's suggestion (Box Canyon Blog), I found cooler temps in the "hills" along County Road 38 between Dolores and Rico. It goes north off highway 145 a few miles west of Stoner then reconvenes a few miles north of Rico. Thanks, Mark!
A vestigial fire ring.
You didn't mention the homemade pies at the market. They are some of the best we've had anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI'm in denial. It's a mortifying state (only equal in pain to abstinence) resulting from too long in town and subsequent weight gain. I've put the pies in my calendar for June 2018. THANKS!!
DeleteWe can always walk those lbs off, can't we ?
DeleteYeah, but it's gonna be a looooooong walk. But hey, I like walking; it's so much easier on the hands than crawling dontchya know.
DeleteI'm glad you found that market... I totally forgot to mention it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, what a find! I'd never had Vigo rolled anchovies with capers before. I can now recommend 'em.
DeleteWow, lots of fancy food! Sounds like an oasis.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was amazed! It's a small store, but they're obviously catering to an international clientele...and me, of course. : - )
DeletePies vs. pounds...such a dilemma.
