Across the great divide

Kadizzle has been free to sculpture his own adventures since The Commander is off on an adventure in Moab.  The plan was to make a trip to IKEA by rail, which is a long way from Stapleton.  With the bike under his butt Kadizzle set off.  First to the local rail transit station. This is the brand new one that has a real nice rack for bikes.  Off at Union Station the next leg of the trip would be a long one.  After a wait Kadizzle got on the E Train which was to take him to his destination.  Being a country bumpkin Kadizzle noticed two things the train went the wrong way, and he was the only one on it.  Sitting on the train feeling a bit like an idiot and facing the possibility the train had been parked for the day Kadizzle began to wonder.  Soon the driver came by and asked " Did you forget to get off?".   Kadizzle explained " No I got on".   Well, things got sorted out quickly and soon the train did head the right direction.  It was a good ride to see a lot of Denver.  Eventually Kadizzle made it about 25 miles south and got off at a nice shopping center where he realized he needed nothing.  Another bike ride and IKEA was discovered.

You have to love IKEA and their deliberate way of forcing customers to zig zag through their store.  Again Kadizzle discovered how many things he did not need.

Back on the train and back to Stapleton.  It is a nice way to get around, especially the combination of the bike and the train.  Today Kadizzle may just go downtown to explore on the bike.  Denver sure ain't Hazen.
