Surviving in Durango

I am parked one block away from the coffee shop on a side street. The main street is way too busy to park on but I can’t get a signal from the coffee shop so far away.

I decide to go around the block and move my truck to the other side street that is even closer to the coffee shop. When I get to that street, it is brightly lit and there is a taco restaurant blazing lights and music, and lots of folks. It is the perfect location though, on the side street around the closest corner to the coffee shop.

I cannot find a place to park on that block, even if the taco joint was quiet and empty, so I cross the main street and take the first park on the other side of the street. I get a signal from the coffee shop but it is very very low – I can’t navigate.

It is after 10 – I’ve lost an hour somewhere – and I decide I’m too tired to be on the internet anyway. The street seems really bright and I decide to go back to the first side street I was on. I don’t like how many people saw my truck passing the taco place and this street is too deserted (as in there's no possible places where I could be watching my truck) as well as too bright.

I take the first corner and realize I’m on a nice, quiet street that is residential on one side, has a hotel in the next block on the other side, and a wall on my side. I park close to the hotel by the wall and no one bothers me the whole night.

I survive in Durango!
