No apology necessary. Much of my solution was just idle
speculation. But I am absolutely convinced that my theory
about the central character simply wanting to get as far away
from Colorado (in any direction) as possible as quickly as
possible (as opposed to deliberately setting out for Moose
Look) is correct.
Of course, one might come up with quite a different theory if
one assumes that THE COLORADO KID is somehow tied in with the
dimension- hopping universe of King's THE DARK TOWER series
(as so many of King's novels seem to be).
But where can I find your Batman solution?
