I remember you said you had stayed out by the airport a few times (I think when you were arguing with Block whether or not either of you had been on a plane). Lots of better budget locations you can find that don't have the number of cross-county truckers or substance-users or general trouble-makers in that area. Ya there was a cop doing detour duty he saw I was visiting, he said that was an industrial area and visitors don’t stay down in this part, I did find a Blood that let me use his black suv for 3 days for like $125 plus gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always saved some money for a place as long as there was a bed and a shower. About 5 years ago, my wife finally asked if we could start upgrading to a Motel 6 or something, as the cigarette burns on the blanket and next-room late night arguments apparently got to her more than me. But as it turns out, she was right, and Americas Best Value Inns are friggin' plush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one did hurt cuz I kept going outside for way to many days after I should have stayed inside, I coughed for 6 months after, and the smell of smoke gets to me now. Last year wasn't so bad, but there were a lot of smaller fires, one less than a mile away where we were told to prepare to evacuate. This year, the fires are mostly far away again (although one is close). This time the winds are changing such that Thursday morning it was raining ash, but this morning we had a reprieve and I was able to get out. Right now the air quality has deteriorated again to the point it's recommended we stay indoors, and the smoke smell is pretty strong. Hurricanes ain't so great either. I saw that report a day or so ago of possibly two in the Gulf at once. Take care. If you guys want to send some of that water our way, we could solve a lot of problems at once. In Yellowstone/Tetons a couple years ago, fires from Washington/Oregon were blowing smoke across the country, which made the still-spectacular landscape less photogenic and made my attempt to recreate a famous Ansel Adams shot turn out not as fun as I was hoping for. Plus, the growth of the trees over the years has cut into the Snake River considerably. Fires create a lot of smoke. The Bourbon / Ginger Ale wasn't bad on that trip though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many fond memories from that part of the country... That is a really cool side by side... I think I know the fire to which you are referring. It was almost exactly two years ago and altered some backpacking plans... 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night on the local newscast, after reviewing the status all the local fires, prevailing winds, and weather forecast, the weather guy started talking about the two hurricanes headed your way. And he says: 'Don't worry, they won't merge and become one super hurricane.' And all I could think was: "FVCK! It's 2020, they're gonna merge and become one super hurricane!' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I also read yesterday that there is an asteroid heading our way. Should be here by the election. Probably will miss us they say but couldn't help but think that 'yeah, it's going to hit us'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the Canadians fault as those guys are shifty. I know we were getting smoke from Canada, Eastern WA and CA and Oregon. It's the new normal for awhile I assume. Beautiful country for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodeway inn was my spot unfortunately they keep selling owners and the place is going down hill I used to work at a hotel on Peoria, just on the other side of the I-70. Many moons ago. It was called The Best Western Executive Hotel, and before that it was a Hilton, I believe. Now I think it's the Timbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a gang incident at a wedding in our hotel with shots fired. A real melee. Refunded a lot of money the next morning to our guests. Also had a guy running some kind of drug lab in one of our rooms. Right there at Peoria and I-70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
