I seem to be jinxed on motels. The Quality Inn was fine as far as furnishings but it was popular with construction personnel. They started with the beer in the lobby about 7 pm. My room was two doors down from the lobby. As they kept popping tops, they kept getting louder. I finally called the front desk around 9:45 pm and asked how long it was going to go on.
She promised she would look into it. It seems she was part of the party. I kept hearing her voice with the construction workers. I finally had to turn on the fan to the AC/Heater on full. Unfortunately, that meant there was no heat in the room. The full on for the fan meant you could not select heat or ac. I did get a little sleep but I think it must have run on until around 1 am.
Quiet is not a quality for the Quality Inn. I was awake at 6 am and the day people were as loud as the construction workers. It didn’t bother me but I wonder about those guests who wished to sleep in. They would shout back and forth to each other as they went about their duties.
I was on the road to Craters of the Moon by 8:30 am. The GPS said it was an 8 hour drive. It took me 10. About half way to the park, the GPS conks out and shows me traveling over the plains, mountain ranges, and across rivers where there is no bridge. Perhaps that’s why the park service says don’t rely on the GPS.
I pulled into the park after 6 pm. I accidentally pulled into a camping space thinking it was the road through the campground and fortuitously found the most level space in the entire park to put up the big tent. The ground is volcanic cinders and it makes a nice camping surface.
My next door neighbor is Randy who just went from temporary park service personnel to full time at Yellowstone. He’s very happy. He’s worked temp with the NPS for 16 years and just got the full time job. I invited him over for a glass of cheap Merlot and we talked about the parks we’ve been to. He heads back to Yellowstone tomorrow. I’m glad someone is getting hired full time these days with the NPS.
I have to admit Idaho is nicer in scenery than I anticipated. There were a couple of places on the drive down through the state that you had huge rock formations and canyons you drove through. Then you had beautiful mountain ranges on either side of you.
After all, performing in the bedroom is something that most men have not gone through any impacts and have benefit tremendously after getting used to Tadalis Oral Check This Out levitra prescription jelly. Through physiotherapy , their body is helped to move slowly Discover More Here levitra online order by professionals until such a time that they will be effective. Though these medicines viagra 25mg prix are highly affordable, they are not always genuine and often aggravate the medical condition. To deal with this condition, Kamagra has come buying cialis cheap up as a brand that brought many benefits not only to cure ED but one can’t rely totally on the medicine.
Tomorrow I plant to hit the visitor center and then drive the loop road and do a few short hikes. I’ll also probably ask for a cave permit to do some of the caves the next day. I may also try a strenuous hike on the second day if my ankle lets me. We’ll see.
It’s supposed to be down to 46F tonight so I suspect I’ll be wearing long johns before I turn it for the night!
Post Script
It rained a little last night and the wind was pretty wild but the tent stayed up and I stayed dry. I also stayed warm. I slept in my long johns.
