Fun day. Carly and I slept a little longer than everyone else. Clare fished early with James. No luck. The girls stayed back but the rest of us drove up the side of the resevoir to the big rock in the water. Two years ago the boys could walk across and climb it. This year it was deep. So we came back for lunch. We drove to Lake City and toured the Mine. Larry and his wife are from TX and work the summer months in CO with 90% of the other residents in Lake City. It was fun to talk with him. He makes sling shots in TX during the winter and gives them to "nice boys"...we were the lucky group because he has only 2 left and the tourist season here is almost over. We stopped for ice cream in town and heard these strange cries/sounds. The locals were all out and interested so we followed the crowd and found the cub bear going through town. There were 3 Park Service guys with tranq guns and were trying to get the cub to run out of town. The cub came right towards our car..within feet as it was crossing the road. We seemed to be in the way so we headed out of town back toward Creede. Our only bear sighting in the city limits!
