30 July 2006 Short stories and an announcement! We spent two days with my aunt and her family in San Francisco. I had a great time, but when I awoke on the day we had to leave, I got that twinge of homesickness. I felt as though I'd made it back home already since I was with family. I sucked it up, though, and we pushed on. We camped in Smith River National Recreation Area the next night, and while trying to read in the tent alone, I was terrorized by a drunk camper. I thought it was Dom, so I just asked "Are you done yet?" after the mystery person scuffled around the site throwing rocks at trees and dumping dirt on the tent's cover. Thankfully, I didn't get a response, and the inebriated terrorist slipped away into the night. I wonder how I would've reacted had I realized it wasn't Dom. I probably would've curled into a ball waiting for the perpetrator to enter the tent so I could papercut him with the pages of my book. Now, I'm sitting outside a Starbucks in Portland, Oregon. I'm taking a break from the Oregon Brewers Festival where Dom is a volunteer "tapster." I'd love to get all jacked up there, but I have to drive us to Seattle tonight. :-( I really like the city of Portland, Oregon. Dom and I walked around a hippy-dippy area, and I became pretty enamored with it. So, Portland joins my list of favorite cities: Vail, Colorado and Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. At the moment, Wisconsin is in the lead for Dave's Favorite State. And here's the Announcement: We decided we're going to have a mileage contest. I'm going to add a page to the site so people can leave guesses as to what our final trip mileage will be. The closest guess without going over will win a (currently unknown) *nice prize* that we'll pick up from somewhere on the road. More on this contest later.

I bust up laughing when I read the part about you papercutting your perpertrator. You're so funny.
I can't believe you guys are only half way done w/this trip. You've been gone forever. Minnie is starting to like Mike now, since you're not here.
I'm sure a sultry "Quit messing around Dom, the asstroglide is getting cold" would have scared off the perp. Wait. Is Smith River near San Fran? Maybe that wouldn't have the desired effect.
Need. More. CONTENT!

I know! Tell me about it. I demand to be entertained.

That's why you gotta bring your shiv when you go camping.
But what about the slapfight?!?
