The whole "free and loose" thing came back to bite me in the ass today. Apparently everybody likes to head to the beach for holiday weekends (who knew?) and morons without reservations are... well... morons. In my defense I wasn't sure where I was going to end up or how far I'd be driving. Turns out a lot further than I would've have intended. So I was forced to come inland a bit... to Olympia. The upside is that with no real agenda I'm not really out of my way. Will add an hour to tomorrow's drive. Many thanks to Alan at 1-800-RESERVATIONS for finding me a bed at the Red Lion Inn. Even if there's a high school class reunion going on in one of the ballrooms down the hall. Alan had no way of knowing that. Plus it beats trying to find a manger and bedding down with a bunch of goats.
Check out the weird keys this place has. Some bizarre hybrid of a card key and a real key. An unholy union if ever there was one.
That's all for tonight. Didn't check in until almost 11:30 and it's off to bed. More Day 2 details tomorrow.
