Staying The Night - The Hotel part 1

Chapter Four.
Ok. So we were cruising along from Baker City trying to make our way to Le Grande, Oregon. We had heard of a bed and breakfast there that would have comfortable beds and a great breakfast. We called a little too late. They were booked. Dougie Fresh was on the phone with them asking for a comparable hotel that they thought we would consider "fabulous." They eagerly suggested the Union Hotel, fifteen minutes out of Le Grande. We phoned them up. They discussed with Doug the options and the Garden room sounded just right. Two queen size beds and charming decor. Should we have been concerned when they mentioned they may not be at the office when we arrived, and would simply leave a key for us in an envelope? We didn't question and put the address in the Navigation System and headed off for Union.

The navigation system took us off the main highway and into a dark road with no lights whatsoever. We were in coyote country I could tell. Fortunately the road was paved, but still, with no lights and coyotes atop the rolling hills, it just felt a little off. We almost turned around and stuck it out at the Motel 6 off the freeway. But no, we were determined to find this diamond in the rough and headed onward.
