Our adventures in Telluride began with a stop along Main Street Telluride, where we had cleared parking with the town marshalls. Alas, due to a semi-bureaucratic system, the sidewalks in Telluride are run by a separate administrative office than the roads, and thus our table on the sidewalk was illegal. After about an hour and a half of tabling, we were nicely told by a man on a bike that we needed to move. We packed up and moved on to our next event – a demo at The Market, a grocery store in the nearby Mountain Village. A hot and tired crew put on our smiling faces for the event and talked to Telluridians about sustainable energy. A salad in our beautiful hotel room at the San Sophia Inn in town closed out the evening, and we passed out before sunset for a much needed night of sleep.
After a rainy day in Telluride and a long drive to Mesa Verde National Park, the Chase Car Crew weathered a nighttime thunderstorm in tents on Wednesday night. Thursday morning brought a new (and hot) day, and after a morning tour of Cliff Palace the group headed to the Farview Terrace to present the car. Tour groups, French families, Wisconsonians, and ex-hippies enjoyed looking at the car, hearing about our mission, and staying as far away from the now-smelly crew as possible. Tessy from the park was unbelievably helpful at helping us set up our day! We shared a bit of advice about running a project like the bus with Tessy before hitting the road again. Thanks Tessy!
