Not Being Able to Maximize Use of a Free Room
Advantages and Disadvantages
It was easy to decide to remain in Pagosa Springs for a while, as the free hot springs (Hippy Hot Springs) was calling out to my soar/weary body.
While I soaked I was approached by two hippies who informed me that I could get a voucher for a free hotel room for the night. After walking 8 miles from camp into town that morning, the offer seemed like a no-brainer.
However, it did take more time to walk to get the voucher, then walk to check into the room, then walk again to get supplies, then walk again to try to make money, only to fail, then walk yet again to try to find food. By the time it was all said and done, it was dark when I got back to the room.
Hindsight is 20/20
If only I had waited to check into the room the next morning, I could of had a room all day with a lot more free time on my hands to make $$$$ and gather supplies. Oh well, my time here is being cut short and it seems the setup of this town is not conducive for the street artist.
At least I got some pictures and a new-found lust to go out and beg for money, which is probably what I will be doing today since the skies are cold and gray. I need a miracle and some free time to draw.
Much Love!
