25 cent showers

reporting live from the public library in Missoula, MT...

6/19 Thrs

ever seen seaguls in the desert? i don't think i had until now. yeah, an entire flock, weird.

arrived in Pullman, gave DB the grand tour of WSU. unfortunately the two places on campus i spent the bulk of my time were under renovation (the CUB, and Wilson Hall). there were a plethora of new buildings, a significant decline in amount of on campus parking, and the Bookie once again failed to have any dark red Cougar sweatshirts i could purchase for my own personal wearing. we did manage to pick up a few $1 books for our reading pleasure.

Rancho Viejo has withstood the test of time, still making it #1 Mexican food establishment in the US, 15 years running.

camping provided by Boyer Park... who thought they might be full up, then decided they had one spot left... oddly, no one else showed up that night. they probably heard about the sprinkler system which drenches the tenting spots starting around 4am. forutnately the sun was up early and dried us out. we were a bit grumpy due to lack of sleep between 3:45 and 6am. fortunately we could shower for a mere 25 cents.


6/20 Fri

i talk about the dunes so often i had to show DB. sadly, they have been much neglected. we did find deer tracks in the sand which is kinda neat.

Path:
Moscow ID for grocery shopping and lunch. yay for the co-op!
Lewiston ID because that's the direction we had to go to go east.
Lowell, ID to the free Rackliff Campground complete with fleas, bats and deer. we were a bit concerned about bears, but we slept fairly sound with no trace of animal activity.
