NORTHERN COLORADO, GRAND LAKE

We motor into the tourist town of Grand Lake.  Grand Lake is the largest and deepest (400 feet) glacial lake in the state.  Peggy spends a couple of hours shopping but buys nothing (?).  We resupply in Granby and then head north up Willow Creek.  We take a forest service campsite in the Arapaho National Forest.  The pine bark beetle has really decimated the forest through here.  In some places about 2/3 of the trees are dead.
