I ride a motorcycle and I think that in most cases planning where I will stop for the night constricts the options of a trip. I left late on a recent ride to Hells Canyon. By 10:30pm and numerous calls I learned that a Sting/Police concert and a big horse show had taken virtually every room within a hundred mile radius of where I wanted to stop for the night. My last call was to David at the Kennewick Best Western. He conveyed the same message but then asked, “Where are you headed?” David asked me to hold while he made some calls and ultimately booked the only available room in Hermiston, Oregon an hour away but on my route.
David understands “lagniappe” and for providing a little something extra has earned a Route 2 contribution to the Alzheimers Association.
