Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety - Benjamin Franklin

Our drive to Orofino, Idaho today was pleasant and uneventful, just the way you want it right? I did the driving since we took my smaller, fuel-efficient car while Mike talked and then later, slept. I didn’t mind, that gave me control of the iPod. Managed to squeeze in a few photos on the way and noted a few places we want to stop on the way home Monday for additional photos. I uploaded a few to Flickr already.

We arrived at the Konkolville Motel plenty early and got checked in before heading into town to pick up a few supplies and get the lay of the land (and shoot a few more photos!) Then it was back to the motel for the evening. The Konkolville is a great little motel, as you can see their free Wi-Fi works great! The owners are incredibly friendly and I have to say this is one of the better “family run” places I’ve stayed at in recent years on the road. If you visit, be sure to take advantage of the “grill your own steak” dinner and relax on their patio while you enjoy the results. I’ll be visiting again on the motorcycle the first chance I get.

After a pleasant meal and perhaps one too many Rum and Cokes, I retired to my room to check e-mail, store photos and craft this missive which I’m sure you’re finding fascinating reading. Now, I shall turn in early (just 9PM!) in anticipation of a 6:15AM departure for breakfast and an early setup for tomorrow’s shooting event. More photos and another post tomorrow night if all goes as planned!
