Day 39 - To the Rocky National Park. I headed out of my illegitimate side road campsite through the winding Colorado roads to Boulder where Slick Rich lives. A younger town where kids rode tubes down the river. I continued up the motorbike friendly roads to the NP via Ward and Estes Park. There was nothing significant besides speeding motorcyclists along the way. As I hit the Rocky’s I was charged $25 for what I call “the worlds most expensive toll road” where you drive up a road, no better than the free mountain passes, only you’re stuck behind terrible tourist drivers at 25mph for 50 miles.. The untouched valley was impressive from the 11,000ft alpine road with winds battering the land. It’s no wonder nothing survives any higher. The road down was clear and made for a nice drive but was hardly worth the price. I’d love to see it in snow. I headed to camp by a reservoir near Hot Sulphur Springs. A nearby fire visible in the dusk sky. I missed the opportunity when the smoke was red as I was busy cleaning the air filter and chain. Well, what’s more important 🤔
