While investigating the question of why Colorado and why the Monument area north of Colorado Springs, I found articles about the burgeoning homeless camps surrounding Colorado Springs area.
In the speculation of why the growth in recent years, the ideas were that people come for the legal marijuanna and for the promise of jobs, especially in construction. Knowing that DN was possibly doing construction in Indiana, maybe that was his goal in Colorado?
At any rate, here are some interesting articles and maps from the Colorado Springs/Monument area about homeless camps.

The most direct route from Colorado Springs to Woodland park is via the Mt. Herman road. Woodland park has a lot of drug rehab places as well as a lot of drugs.
Mt.Herman road is narrow, twisting, and dirt/gravel. DN said he got run off the road by someone and shook his fist at them. I wonder if he was coming down the road going towards Monument, and TW was going up the road on his bike, and DN swerved off the road. Given his hair trigger anger, maybe he went to enact revenge on TW... If he thought TW was a woman, that would make it even more enraging, in my opinion.
