Sand

Bienvenido - I'm sitting in an authentic Thai joint just south of Bueno Vista, CO as I write this one. Best Pad Thai I have ever masticated. I told the nice lady as much and then she told me the wifi password. Well played.

Video - Enjoy this short drive with me through Colorado while I wait for the whole set of Sand Dune videos to upload. In this movie we discuss how to make the perfect croissants and what living in the Cretacious period (remember modern indoor plumbing wasn't introduced until 1829) must have been like for pachycephalosauri. Be prepared to hear a lot of wind and half-sentences. Let's talk about those dunes.

Dunes. The Chicken of the Sahara. You can’t really get an idea of their size until you’re on top of them. I spent a day walking on top of the dunes, making music on the side of the stream, then sheltering in my caRV while the sky rolled a slow and punchy rainstorm over our heads for an hour. Sand in the everywhere. I successfully cooked eggs on my camp stove, trial ran the whole bear-storage thing (no problems as they provided bear boxes though my bear sense never tingled) and took those pictures. We had deer stroll through the campsite like they owned the place. Deer. 

I have since hit Colorado Springs and have found I really, really like the town. But only for its natural beauty. But it has all amenities and a place called Larkburger which makes a fine Truffle Burger. I'm going to stay a few days and enjoy/plan. Just not at the Walmart I was at last night because at one point I had a train, leaf blower (at four in the morning) and a car horn going off at the same time. Made me pop in my ear plugs, they did.

I went to Garden of the Gods early this morning and took the pictures you saw in the Dunes album (Here). As you may have guessed, I'm no longer in that Authentic Thai Joint. I'm going to find a proper spot on some rocks and upload one of my own songs next. First I'll upload the Garden's videos. Everything is backlogged, it takes thirty minutes to upload four. It'll get there.

Pax.
