DDC 2006 Fall Tour / Day 29 / West Towards St. Louis

September 18, 2006

It was a little sad moving out of the Baymont. I was really digging that hotel room. Good water pressure, ample desk space, lots of outlets to plug the mobile command unit into, a gigantic bed, a couch to sit and play the Martin on and tap water that was okay to drink. Pretty good joint.Not one for goodbyes, I split outta town real quick. I had to get over to St. Louis to fly out to Portland. Do or die.I passed through Louisville so fast, tried to find some wireless to ring up Jaime Johnson for some lunch or something, couldn't find a signal, got wet as hell running in and out of places, got frustrated and jumped back on the highway down towards St. Louis. Next time, for sure.I drove a couple more hours and pulled off at a little town exit called, "Dale, Indiana." Dale. Now there's a good Midwestern name. I knew lots of Dales growing up. Truckfulls.317. "Found a dry parking lot to regroup in.I snagged a little hotel, got connected, worked some, ate at the Denny's (the only choice in town...wait, there wasn't a town, only a two hotels and a Denny's) and passed out sometime after the midnight hour.
