It
was about 5:15 pm when we returned to the vehicle and headed back to
Mancos State Park. We arrived back at the campground before 6:00 pm.
This time it was earlier in the evening so we still had some daylight
left by the time we finished eating dinner and washed the dishes.
Having slept in late, we stayed up later and got a clear view of the
starry sky. Out in the boondocks where there are no city lights or
smog, you can see many more stars. The sky is literally filled with
them. As the night air cooled, we put on our jackets and fixed
ourselves some hot chocolate.
A couple of cars came through the main campground. One of them went
back out and headed up to the west campground. The other car pulled
into a site over by the outhouse, probably site 2, and set up camp.
It was around 9:30 or 10:00 by the time we called it a day and hit the
sack. |
