Memorial Day update
Spent a few hours at Gunnison today. First surprise: the lower access road is open! All repaved and everything. No need to go up by the lighthouse and loop back down anymore.
On our way out around 3 pm we got our second surprise: the restrooms are open! Sinks, toilets, urinals, hand dryers - all working! So weird because they definitely weren't open when we got there at 9 am. The showers aren't working yet, but at this rate I wouldn't be surprised if they have them up and running in a couple weeks.
Still no snack shack, though. Word is they'll start back up once the Seagull's Nest reopens, which is supposed to be sometime in July.
It was a beautiful day! So great to see so many people there, too.
Yeah, that nesting area in the middle of the beach is still there. Weird.
The last news I heard about the Seagull's Nest was a couple of months ago so things must have changed. That's a real bummer to hear they may not open at all this year...
Went to Gunnison Memorial Day as well. Heard stories about the damage, of course. I heard no Seagull's Nest this year is likely. Snack shack was gone. The bathrooms were closed when I arrived, with porta potties by the road in front of the beach/fort. Strangely I also saw the bathrooms open when I left in the afternoon, but I did hear that they were still waiting on parts before they can be fixed. I'm not sure what the complete story is. Aside from the wind shifting and getting cold around 2pm, it was otherwise a wonderful day and great to be back!
