Saddle Sore

Day four is done and I'm starting to get a bit tired of the driving.  Good thing we're planning for tomorrow to be our last day.  We're starting out pretty early and expect to make it to Portland by nightfall.  

Tonight we're in Missoula, MT.  Many of our friends suggested we stop here for a night, so we're excited to see what all the hoopla is about.  Dan's currently out for a run (his favorite way to explore a new town) so I'm sure he'll have spied some places he'll want to check out.  I'm sitting in our hotel room.  Definitely the grossest place we've stayed so far.  There's magenta carpeting.  And curtains.  And bedspread.  Don't get me started on the nasty stains and marks on the wall.  I keep telling myself that it's better than any of the hostels I stayed in when I was in Argentina.  I'll live.  

Today's Superlatives: 
Most Exotic License Plate: British Columbia (these Canadians!) 
Most Disgusting Roadkill: I'm pretty sure it was a porcupine, but who could tell, it was all squashed.  
Most Interesting Car/Driver: The gawdy red sports car with flames and a fake racing number on the side.  This guy was classy, I tell ya.  
Stupidest Billboard Ad: "It only takes once to get hooked" with a creepy yellowing syringe...more disturbing than stupid 
Strangest Town Name: Anaconda Opportunity.  Seriously!  What?   
Most Offensive Sight: This carpeting. 

Portland tomorrow!  And probably no internet until Monday.
