Saturday August 8

It hit me.....I started to feel lousy around 10am while driving.....I felt some aches in my back and shoulders.....by 2pm I was exhausted. It felt like the flu without the usual fever and head cold part of it......I was achy and fatigued. I took a nap for a while, felt a little better and carried on to Spokane. Hit the Red Lobster for lunch and decided that I could survive going to an arena football game that night. All I had to do was sit there right?

I took another little nap and headed into the arena......the Spokane Shock were all the rage. I certainly didn’t think that the fans would be as into it as they were......in fact, the fans were mental over the Shock. It was the loudest crown I’d ever heard at a sporting event. Many of the younger kids had ear plugs in their ears... The game was filled with the usual loud music and razmataz that is usually meant to hide the boringness of the actual sport. Overall and entertaining night though....

My body felt tired by the end of the game......so I went to sleep as soon as I could find a place to park the camper. This ended up being a Denny’s parking lot near a hotel. Sometime around 2am, three of the workers, all high school age, came out to a car that was nearby the camper, smoked weed, and went back into work...
