Stage three: Jake's birthday. we load up big blue yet and again and drive a scenic 5 hours to Crested Butte. This was to be the camping portion of our trip. We struck out at our first choice of camp sites at Lake Irwin. It was still closed because of too much snow! We were all disappointed because it was a really picturesque spot. We felt we made the right decision not to stay there after meeting the only others campers braving the snow (think deliverance with big dogs). We were further vindicated in our choice to leave when we drove past a LARGE black bear a mile outside of the camp site. Thank goodness our friend Tony, who lives in Cressted Butte, had an extra room for us to crash in that night.
