Upgraded Hospitality

So its worth mentioning that I'm having a day off before the final few days to the west coast. Its also worth mentioning that I have been very lucky to experience some great places to stay. When I was in Troy,MT a few days ago a gas station attendent (who also owned a motel) let me shower in it for $5 and sleep out the back. Just as he was closing up, his wife came up to me and said 'We're not going to rent the room, your welcome to sleep in it for free!' So I watched tv for three hours (a luxury i rarely allow myself).

Then two days ago when coming through into Washington (after doing Idaho in a day) I got to a campsite where the lady gave me a reduced rate, $10, which is not bad considering it had showers. Then I found out it had a hot tub! So i've been living the life of luxury. Saying that, i'm far too lazy at the moment to put up my hammock, and I stay warmer on the ground, so i look like a bum on the floor in my sleeping bag, but its warm, so don't knock it untill you've tried it.

Today started off well, a cycle into town, a big milkshake, and over two hours of batman comics, ahhh, life is good, off to get a sandwich.
