Do Bicycles Dream of Electric Degrease? Pt 2: The Plan

In an earlier post, I detailed my plans to travel to the grave site of popular science fiction author Philip K Dick’s grave. After much consideration, I have decided to expand my scope, and will be camping in Pawnee National Grassland overnight before attempting the final trip into Nebraska.

DAY 1: Denver to Fort Morgan

Using a mix of established trails such as the South Platte River trails and shoulders along Highway 52, I will descend into Fort Morgan over the course of the first day and do my business in paying tribute to the late Philip K Dick and his fraternal sister Jane C. Dick

DAY 2: Fort Morgan to Pawnee National Grasslands

After paying tribute to the Dicks, I will make the push to Pawnee National Grassland, saving that for day 2 while posting up somewhere in Ft. Morgan, and set up camp on the BLM located throughout the park.

DAY 2/3: Pawnee National Grasslands to Pine Bluffs, Nebraska (and Back)

Since Nebraska is only an hour or two away from Pawnee Grasslands depending on where you camp in the park, I will make a short trip up to the State of Nebraska and check out Panorama Point, possibly see if there are other points of interests, then head back down to Pawnee and bird watch/hike for the rest of the day.

DAYS 4-5: Pawnee to Home

The return route will be fairly identical to the route to Pawnee National Grasslands, minus the trip through Fort Morgan. Most likely, I will be ending up back in Denver proper on Wednesday or Thursday of next week and finding a place to stay somewhere along the route, possibly in Lochbuie or in Barr Lake State Park.

In my next few entries, I will be doing a video log of my journey, as I leave tomorrow. Stay tuned!
