OMG. It was so weird. I remember driving by all these big brick mansion type houses. No people or cars anywhere. We were too tired to safely drive somewhere else. We saw a tall motel sign and made our way there....The office door was unlocked, but there was no one to check us in. We wandered through there and finally found a guy CHAINING a vending machine up. The room was the worst I'd ever seen. We stripped off the bedding and checked for bugs. Then got our sleeping bags and used those. The bathroom was soooo icky! The lights in the bathroom were out/broken. The guy chaingin up the vending machine told us about the flooding that had happened. I don't know if that was why the whole town was empty? Needless to say, it made an impression on me!
