Sounds like it could be the name of a movie ? – well, it could be. We go off on Mitchell’s ‘Business Loop’. Mitchell is a one street town. Something
right out of the old west. But it
certainly has a charm about it. There is
a City Park and they welcome campers – RVs $15., tents $5. So I set up our tent. There were some kids around playing. Two of them, Abby and Aaron were very
friendly. As we were talking I mentioned
that I was going to check up on the guys.
They offered to watch my tent for me since in Aaron’s words, ‘sometimes
people get drunk and steel peoples tents’.
In hind sight I wish I had held off on setting up the tent. But it all worked out okay. When we got back it turns out that Aaron had
kept a good eye on the tent – from the inside.
The guys did well on Wednesday, 92 miles. Today, Thursday they rolled over the 500 mile
mark. We’re still in Oregon but making
progress.
Dinners have worked out well. I usually cook and hopefully the guys will do
the dishes. Last night we crossed the
street to the town café for dessert. The
restroom for the park was also across the street as was the hotel, general
store and post office. The auto and farm
store was on our side of the street.
That was the town. There was a
school on the hill the enrollment was 65 that’s for grades 1-12.
The wind is usually strong in the evenings but seems to die
down during the night. As do we.
