31st May - Colorado Springs

Such is life in motel land, I was sat on my step trying to get a signal when a bike arrives. Zanka was from Bulgaria but now lives in LA. Just bought a '93 Firebalde from Chicago. "Tell me about your self David". I retreated. Morning and with the railroad in the  background we talked." I am a motivational speaker"...Right. "Thinking is the pinnacle of the male mind". Right. "You must see The Secret - have you seen it ?" No. "Then see Earl Nightingale's The Strangest Secret...you can do anything David". Right. I headed off.

    
Colorado has a fantastic backdrop. Its the American ski area (think Aspen). I headed for the mountains and wasn't disappointed. The road to Silverton (an old mining town) was partly blocked by a rock slide so I had to wait for the one hour the road opened. Slowed me down but I did get see a great waterfall.

 They describe this part of Colorado as a mini Switzerland. Makes sense.
