Home, sweet home: A night in a pallet shelter, the newest safe-camping site option.
Columbine Steak House and Lounge
I was assigned the pallet shelter closest to the entrance of the site, which is located on an empty plot of land, now covered in gravel, that the St. Francis Center plans to eventually turn into affordable housing. I set my sleeping bag and pillow on top of the mattress, brushed my teeth using one of the outdoor sinks, got into the sleeping bag and listened to the last few innings of the Rockies-Dodgers game on my phone.
In the pallet shelter, the temperature was certainly not the issue. Since I had the windows open, the sound of vehicles driving by on Federal Boulevard was somewhat disturbing, but I could have closed the windows and run the air-conditioning instead. I also wasn't a fan of the mattress, and that coupled with the noise prevented me from getting a good night's sleep.
