Waves to everyone from Provo. I’ve read all but didn’t check in last night because of crappy interwebs. It isn’t any better here, I’m using my cell for a hotspot.
So far, this has been a great trip filled with amazing beauty. I have driven through the Painted Desert and the badlands before, they are like the Grand Canyon, timeless and ever changing. I took pics but will have to wait until I’m home to post them.
Crossing the Navajo Nation and the White Mountains was sobering as usual. I’m so secure and insulated that I forget what that entire people live in abject poverty.
Last night I stayed at a little local motel and when I pulled up I could see that it was WESTERN! There were the standard black cut-outs on the exterior walls and a naked cow head hanging in the lobby. The check in clerk walked me to my room and the first thing I saw when she opened the door was a fer reals horse bridle, bit included and a pair of leather assless chaps hanging on the wall. I was having my doubts about the sort of place I had booked, but remembered the family checking in before me had two school age kids.
The rest of the room was also WESTERN and I had the fun experience of pooping under the disapproving gaze of an Apache grandmother in full regalia. Hanging over the toilet for the men’s enjoyment was her sepia colored spouse.
It was clean and quiet and felt secure, so all was good. As this is MY trip, I brought a bottle of cream for my coffee because I’m far too spoiled and precious to use those terrible powdered creamers. There wasn’t a coffee pot in the room (probably worried about blowing fuses, this was not a new place by any means) so when I showed up in the lobby with my own bottle of cream, I sure got some jealous looks but of course I shared it to much gratitude and complements on my trip planning.
This place is just standard commercial. It’s nice enough and all, but there is nothing like waking up looking at a horse bridle hanging over you, LOL!
I’m going to walk a block to [cafe zupas](https://cafe zupas provo utah) and have some lobster busque (it comes with bread, butter and a chocolate covered strawberry), then waddle back here and soak in the hot tub for a while.
That is just stinkin rude no matter what you smoke.
A little sniffling here too.
I don’t drink whiskey either, but I’d guess that 12 year old stuff is considered to be good. I wonder if you want to save it for a bribe for some burley folks to do something someday?
