I was welcomed into Colorado on Wednesday afternoon, July 2, by an afternoon thunderstorm / windstorm. I found shelter in a town Post Office for two hours while it passed. I then pedaled onto my destination of Walden, CO to find every hotel and motel posting NO VACANCY. With the help of some local networking, I landed at the home of Tom & Doris. They offered me their living room sleepsofa. That was a better draw than the stranded motorcyclist received. He got a bed in a bedroom, but it was filled with perfumed dolls that chimed, on the hour, throughout the night!
