I walked just outside of town and started flying my “Brookings” sign. Figuring I’d get that far at least for the day. I got my first ride within 30 minutes of trying to get a ride. That ride got me to Klamath California. About 20 miles south of Crescent City. There I stopped in the gas station got a treat for Manny and started walking up the highway. I just got on the highway when I pitbull puppy came running across the highway and got hit by a logging truck. It was real gross and made me feel very upset. I pulled the dogs body off the highway. It didn’t have a collar, so there wasn’t much I could do to contact the owner. When I started walking down the highway after that dog got hit I didn’t feel like hitching at all. So I just kept walking. I didn’t make it far down the road when a guy and this woman pulled over and asked if I was going north. I was surprised how quick I got a ride without hitching. This ride took me all the way to downtown Seattle. Ted and Mary where great people to talk with and I enjoyed the ride greatly. When I got to Seattle I looked for a hostel with no luck in the area I was in. I went to a local bar that allowed me to bring Manny inside. Chatted with the patrons there till closing then caught a cab outside the city limits. I crashed in the tall grass on side the highway then walked here to McDonalds to write this entry. I have my “Spokane” sign made and will try hitching there today. Talk again soon. Peace
