also learned today that my scooter is part mountain goat.\u00a0 During one of our many confusing moments ala Garmin, Matt decided to turn, more confusingly, in a no turning zone.\u00a0 So I followed, but realized a little to late I had taken the turn a little to wide and there was 4 inch curb about to meet my front wheels.\u00a0 Well my scoot ate that curb for breakfast.\u00a0 One of the wheels jumped it and to my horror I road half on the road half on the rocky median for a few feet before I finally got things back under control.\u00a0 I&#8217;m sure I was a picture of riding grace.\u00a0 Matt was impressed I didn&#8217;t dump the bike.\u00a0 We stopped for lunch soon after and learned we needed to make alternate arrangements for lodging in John Day, since the Best Western and every other hotel of good repute was booked.\u00a0 We were a little dubious about the quality of America&#8217;s Best Value Inn.\u00a0 And rightfully so.\u00a0 See Matt&#8217;s sad face below.<\/p>\n<p><a
