Vacation Planning Snafus
I am leaving tomorrow for my vacation to Colorado. I am planning to spend a week in Saguache County and attend BlancaFest in Fort Garland in neighboring Costilla County. I have encountered a couple of snafus:
- There are no buses going to Fort Garland or to Saguache from Denver. I’ll have to take a bus from Denver to Colorado Springs and spend tomorrow night in Colorado Springs.
- The only bus from Colorado Springs to Fort Garland leaves Friday Morning.
- There are no rental car places in either Fort Garland or in Saguache.
- There are no nudie bars in Fort Garland or Saguache.
- The rental car place I checked out in Colorado Springs was charging $300/week plus $.15/mile (It is 127 miles from Colorado Springs to Fort Garland and another 78 miles from Fort Garland to Saguache.
- The only bus that leaves Fort Garland to Colorado Springs leaves Sunday.
I have invested too much in this vacation to cancel it. I will find a way to get where I have to be. Next time, I will make sure that either Greyhound or Amtrak goes through the towns I want to visit before visiting.
If you are planning to attend Blanca Fest, I need a ride to Saguache. I will also need a ride from Saguache to Colorado Springs on Friday morning.
See you at Blanca Fest!
