Lone Tree supercharger. Ours is one of four Tesla’s charging (one at HPWC to left of garage area shown) and a fifth is taking some potential customers on a test drive.

Lone Tree SC may be a bit tricky to find at this busy mall. Look for entrance to Dick’s Sporting Goods and charge in garage area, just a few paces away. (iPhone shot of car’s location while charging.)

05.16.2014 |  Before leaving Estes Park, we had breakfast at the Sundeck Restaurant and then stopped by Black Canyon Inn for a few more photos. Would’ve stopped by Stanley hotel once again, but their policy is to have a $5 parking fee and it was far to early to take measure of their offer: parking fee converted into a drink at the Cascades bar inside. Today we had breakfast again right by our roadside digs, awful traffic (but safe arrival) in Lone Tree.

Lovely dinner tonight in Denver (basil seafood and double order of “Rock and Roll”––avocado in smoked salmon skin with…delicious) at John Holley’s Asian Fusion. Vile delay today because of GPS inadequacy. GPS doesn’t play well with the Rockies. Locals corroborated here.

After traveling three weeks ago in Botswana and assorted ports of call, Chad took the time to drop by the Hampton Inn and catch up a bit. Glad am making this trip happen. Hope to see Maggie, too, for breakfasts mañana. His father’s Jud’s getting an honorary doctorate tomorrow at U of Denver. And he has been working on a documentary about multiple myeloma, from which both he and Matt Damon’s father, Kent, have been stricken. My understanding is that though multiple myeloma’s invariably fatal, Chad’s dad seems to be beating the odds. From what I’ve heard from Chad and elsewhere, Matt Damon seems to be a good bloke as well as a hard-working, successful actor.
