My paycheck from which 100% was the rent on my “classic hotel room” was eaten by the bank for fees! Depending on how much remained........too little to pay rent......... I was going to leave Colorado......by foot. Uh huh.
I checked out sleeping bags, backpacks, trail tents, etc. Everything is on clearance and I could have used what I have plus the new stuff for about $150. I was going to take the bus to the western most side of Colorado Springs, and start climbing Pikes Peak......14,000+ feet, Friday 8/31, at about noon.
I should have been on top by now! Probably dodging mountain lions, bears, coyotes, and rattlesnakes until I reached tree line.
I was going to Cripple Creek, 9500+ feet?, camp out and see if I could get a job in the Casinos to generate some cash.
Plan B, was to buy the gear above, take the bus to Ft. Collins for $37 and head west.......I know some caves back toward the divide........or take the gambling shuttle to Cripple Creek for $25, with $20 cash back
However, since the classic hotel is at least 1/3 empty, the benevolent manager let me stay and write a post dated check for the rent, so I am good till I get paid again 9/14. I am getting extra hours and am able to work both malls, which saves me about and hour each way in travel time, two days a week.
I have sold all my CD's and DVD's for cash. Still have my golf clubs to pawn, and realized I can make an extra $150+ per month donating Plasma, which is where I am going on Tuesday.
It's all just another day in Paradise!
