when is friendly too friendly?

Arrived at Koa just outside Boise. It was after-hours and checking in was on the “honor system.” Instructions said to find a spot and put payment in envelope with slot number. I meandered thru a “city” of sites (224 of them- most booked and no tents set up) I was flagged down by an (off the clock) employee who was just a little too interested in finding me a spot (and telling me about the hot tub, and pool, asking about the friendliness of my dog, if I could sleep in my van, and…) after he led me to an open spot (a stones throw away from where he and his “supervisor” had been hanging out) I followed my gut and opted to go to motel 6. He was probably just being helpful but he and his “supervisor” gave me the creeps. Better safe than sorry 🙂

    Carolynn,

    That was a good idea ‘safe than sorry’. I give you a lot of credit for embarking on such a trip. I hope everything is as you planned. How close is Boise to half way?

    Just thinking of you

      I began the trip with an itinerary but lots of freedom in between. I have seen some beautiful country (it’s easy to forget how lovely and green things are away from the city.) I have arrived in Pendleton Oregon, have spent the day with my hosts here. My car was invited to be displayed in front of local Art Museum and the local press came by to take photos. I’m 4 hours from Portland (my next stop) for a few days with a dear friend- then on to Seattle for next weekend for the “Freemont Fair” parade. All the best to club 28.
