Right: Hurray! I found it! The H-Bar-G Ranch
Hostel!! At last I could rest, take a nice walk in the woods,
shower, eat, then collapse on my bunk. Joy!
What?
Closed? The gate is closed and locked! Oh no! Oh
what a disappointment! The H-BAR-G Ranch Hostel was closed!
And my Hostel USA book had given it a 5 Star Rating--One of The Best
Hostels. But it was closed, and it was pouring rain out.
The end
of a long day, and a long drive. Getting dark and no where to
stay. Sat in the car for half an hour resting and listening to
the rain, and trying to figure out what to do next.
Considered
sleeping in the car--to tight. Pitch the tent right there
outside the locked gate. What could happen? The police
could come and ask me to leave. Then what? Hmmm.
Guess the best thing to do would be to look for a campground before
it got too dark.
Well,
things like this happen--it's all just "part of the fun"--even
though it doesn't seem like much fun at the time.
