Not much sleep last night-1:00 AM hear pounding on door next to us & yelling for someone to open door.  Goes on for 15 min-finally open door-see big guy, long hair, tattoos-tell him to go to office & get another key or I will call office.  He lowers head & says he will go to office.  Later a horn alarm goes off.  Leave at 7:30 w/Whitney-sun is shinning.  Make good time-bike on freeway, rds under construction, rds lined w/trees & lakes-not many hills except 1 w/16% grade.  See 2mph-get off before falling off-walk bike up hill at 2.5mph.  Get to town at 11:30-call Jean from DQ.  They’re 2 hrs behind because they stopped at McDonalds (Jean’s favorite place for breakfast).  Eat lunch at Subway & try to find City Center Motel.  Streets are all torn up–go up steep hill or 2 or 3–GONSOULIN brothers w/maps have decided this doesn’t look right!!!  NOT AGAIN–go back to town-motel is a stone’s throw from Subway!!  Talking to manager when we see 2 bikers–It’s JEAN & LYNN.  They were2 hrs behind us but we check in at the same time-something is wrong w/this picture.  Mom & Pop motel-$65-clean.  Want to go to movie–see Mortal Instruments–It’s a sci-fi-not sure exactly what is was about.  Meet Lynn & Jean at Subway for dinner-call Whitney.   Map rap session-decide to leave at 7:00 AM together so we can follow Jean out of town.  Not taking many pictures except for Armand & Whitney reading maps.
