   ( Beginning of this Adventure )

Wednesday, May 24th - It's just about two hours from Spokane to my next destination, a tiny town called Marcus outside a small town called Kettle Falls north of Spokane.

I have been to Kettle Falls many times, but never heard of Marcus! It must be one of those wide spots on the road with a few houses.

Did you guys eat at the Little Gallea? https://www.facebook.com/Little-Gallea-Restaurant-113490492017286/
We go there once a month or so. They have great breakfasts.

Many people just assume that rural areas are filled with idiot rednecks, but there are quite a few interesting characters hanging out in the woods. I think we are all cosplaying at being rednecks or something. Your friend is a good example. One of our neighbors is a retired engineer from a large company that did work for NASA. His unassuming old red barn looks like a mad scientist's lab inside. Your waitress has probably heard it all before...

Yes I think that's the restaurant!

And yeah Marcus is just up the 25 from town and one could probably very easily drive right past it without realiznig it was a place.

As regards the waitress, then my friend who is always in jail tried calling me from jail and I was complaining to Doug because it's not like in the movies where your'e just asked if you'll accept a collect call, you have to either call a phone number and fight through a phone tree or go to a website and either way leave a minimum of $20 on an account and hope they call back so you can use it or its lost.. pretty bogus really. So yeah then I was complaining about that and the waitress was like "oh who is it? I might know her!" and Ii was like oh no no she's way down in southern california.

But anyway I love how much history there is to the area!
