Quite a day on Saturday! Drove north from Ontario Oregon to Kent, WA to visit with my boy Riley. I showed up at his house and they were out and about so I sat outside and tried to connect to his wireless network (which I had setup), and it was gone. I should note that I’m traveling without a cell phone so I rely on Skype, Google voice and open wi-fi networks to make calls.
I drove down to Target and hooked up with the Home Depot free wi-fi across the street and called him. He asked were I was, I told him, and within 30 seconds they pulled into the spot on my left with big grins on their faces. Turns out they were mobile in the Target parking lot :-)
Went back to their place, showered, visited, and then got out of dodge as they were hosting a birthday event.
I controlled a temptation to check into a downtown Kent motel and go bar-hopping (it looked like the lesbian bar was setting up for a live band), fueled up and drove south. The weather sucked in the Seattle area and I have to say it’s beautiful here on the Oregon coast at 9:30pm :-)
Yep, I’m a driving fool. I hung a right just before Portland on Hwy 26, dropped down through a beautiful forest on Hwy 6 and landed just north of Hebo.
It’s Sunday morning at 0640, I have coffee, internet, an oldies stations blaring 60’s music and I’m just miles from the ocean.
I raise my gaze to the sky and say thanks!
Now that was a busy day and night! Thanks for all the details. Have a wonderful time at the beach. Here is to you :-) (-:
Hope you are haveing a great time touring.
