Four states in one day. This evening we post from Whitehall MT, a flyspeck of a town in the Mountain Time zone, having followed the Columbia River gorge from The Dalles, stopped in Spokane to pluck Sis from the airport there, cut across the Idaho Panhandle and finally stopped for the night in this quaint burg, which seems characterized by a faltering local economy (to judge from the number of boarded-up establishments in what passes for the commercial district) and a thriving species mosquito that attacks at dusk in large numbers and with great ferocity. The picture above sums up the spirit of the place, and didn't those fine revolutionary sentiments sound more stirring forty years ago from the left, and don't they seem creepy now, o my auditors and only friends? Another long day, another abbreviated entry.
