Not finding a cam
pground and paying $150 for a room seemed the be the continuation of a streak of bad luck yesterday. Today we actually considered ourselves lucky to have been able to spend the night in downtown Aspen, to see some of its nightlife, and today before departing, we walked around in the center of town admiring the buildings and stores in relative peace and quiet - it was 7:30 am.
There is a nice pedestrian zone with trees, cobbl
estone streets, and a brook snaking its way between the trees. The pedestrian zone covers several blocks and that is where the most expensive shops are. A bakery was open and served good coffee and a good bagel with cream cheese - also not cheap, over $7. After getting some gas (about 80 cents per gallon more than elsewhere in the area) we headed for Colorado Springs.

I called ahead and got the last RV site at the Air Force Academy campground where we arrived early in the afternoon and called it a day after doing some laundry. It is raining, which suits me just fine because I can catch up on some of my writing, and then end day 18.
