Still more stories from the road

Even though we are back, I still have more stories and pictures to share.

My job during the baseball game was to find us an inexpensive place to stay. I spent about an hour calling all of the hotels in the phone book to try and make a reservation. Unfortunately, none of the hotels we found had all of the ammenties we were looking for and the cheap price...

So, we decided to keep driving for a little while. About 35 minutes down the road is Hardin, MT. We took that exit because there was a promise of a Super 8 with wireless internet. But, they had no rooms left. Hope continued with American Inn (right across the street), but the woman working there was out in the parking lot telling several other individuals like us that she had no rooms left either. She was very helpful though and asked if we would like for her to write down a couple numbers for us to try to call. As I was having this conversation with her another man pulled up in a grey car. He got out and asked if we needed a place to stay.

Matt was waiting in the car and since I will talk to anyone and am pretty trusting by nature I said, "Yes!! We do!!". Probably with more enthusiasm than is shown with the double explanation points. He then told me that he had a motel down the road with one vacancy. He had already closed up for the night, but we could follow him back a mile and he would let us in. It was only $60 and had internet access. I agreed and jumped back in the car... Matt gave me a look of confusion and asked what I had gotten us in to. I told him to just follow the nice man in the grey car...

So, we did! We stayed at the Western Inn. It was a bit sketchy and we ended up sleeping in our sleeping bags on top of the sheets and swatting little gnats away from the computer screen while attempting to blog and check email, but it was safe and clean for the most part. We can't complain, but we can tell a great story!
