About a hour before a guy named Eric gave me a ride half way to Spokane. In a small town on the bank of the Colombia river I chatted with some locals and met a another couple that was hitching down towards New Mexico. I ended up getting a ride after many hours there. The girl that picked me up was heading to Spokane so she brought me right to the house of Ian. I met Ian on a hitching forum. Spent the night in his yard, drinking a few beers and meeting some of his friends and family. Had a nice time there and a friend of his brought me a little ways out of town to get me started the next day hitching again. That day I wasn’t much in the mood to hitch around so I just looked for a good camping spot and caught up on some rest. The next morning I didn’t make it to far down the road before getting picked up by a couple younger guys heading to a barter fair. I took them up on their offer and went to the barter fair to see if I knew anyone out there. The barter fair was about 12 miles off of US-2 so the next morning I started walking back to US-2 to continue hitching east. That leaves me at my current location. A small Store & More place off the side of 211 in northern Washington. They happened to have wifi so I figured I’d try to update this before continuing my walk back to US-2. I guess I have about 5 1/2 miles back to US-2 so should be there in a couple hours after I leave this store. Will write more once I get into Idaho or Montana.. Peace.
