Finally on the road…
July 7th, 2008Ok so I’m finally on the road, a lil’ behind schedule but that’s par for the course. I had planned on leaving Saturday, than Sunday, & it ended up being noon today. I planned on getting all my supplies (soap, soup, & rolaids) yesterday, but it turned into a complete cluster-fuck! I had some gift certificates I wanted to use for now necessities, but the stores where I had them that should of had them didn’t. I drove all over the Puget Sound for a few basic staples; probably spent more on gas than what the gift certificates were worth.
Today was interesting. I’m now the asshole @ a campsite that has his HD MacPro out & lighting up the entire frickn’ campground. This is a 1st. Not only is this the 1st time I’ve taken a laptop to a campground, but I have never seen one there. In all honesty I would be the 1st one to carry on all night if I did see one there…the irony! I surprising found the perfect little campground (amazing what you get when you ask around at a bar). I’ve even got a sweet female voice (& guitar eminating from the camper next door).
The whole day hasn’t exactly gone as planned, but I guess that’s travelling. 2 out of the 3 breweries I planned on hitting were closed. Roslyn Brewery (guessed I missed the part about weekends only) & Rocky Coulee Brewery (totally missed the hrs on this one). I was able to hit my final score, Northern Light Brewing (no website).
I’ll discuss these in more detail when the mosquitos aren’t circling my lit-up Apple like a bunch of United flights @ O’hare.
To top things off I got lost finding this place & drove all over town in near darkness only to pull up to a sign (& blockade) at the entrance that said all campsites were full (on a flippn’ Monday???). Sometimes I don’t see so well so I decided I’d check for myself. Got lucky.
I have about 18 kinds of canned goods in a big storage container in the bed of my truck. After not eating all day, I decided to reach in to see what other surprises today held. Would you believe it..I pulled out Lentil Soup; traditionally served @ New Years to bring luck to the upcoming year. Wish I would have had it for breakfast.
