Adventures
We were visited by the cops at 2:30 a.m. in Boulder/Denver area.  We were parked in a Walmart again, but it was in the middle of this shopping town.  My guess is they saw our car while doing the rounds in this shopping center and didn't realize we are, despite outward appearances, a camper, parked legally in the Walmart.  They were pretty defensive when we pointed out that we were legally parked on private property, and in my opinion, ran our licenses just for show.  Whatever, The Man won't get me down.  Go figure, we wake up in the actual morning to find inches of snow on the ground. Awesome.  








Then we drove to Steamboat Springs. It's a cute, but resort-y, town.  Still, it was very pretty, and had plenty of cute shops and a pretty busy downtown area.  We were feeling unsure about the parking in a small resort town like that, and we had just been bothered by the cops the previous night, so we sprung for a cheap hotel and treated ourselves to dinner out. 


Also, check out all of the famous people who live here!





Music
PJ Harvey- Let England Shake is a fantastic album. We, of course, had to revisit the rest of her discography.
