A GoT Miracle

Conspiracy theorists will insist there is a pattern here but nothing could be further from the truth! Here are the facts:

After the first night in Dinuba, we have only skipped sleeping in the van 3 times (not including the rafting trip)

Tuesday 7/18 - we stay in a motel near Lake Tahoe, having fled the smoke coming over the Sierras from a big fire. I watch Game of Thrones season 7 episode 1 which came out a couple days earlier.

Sunday 7/23 - we stay in a motel in Williams, CA on the way to Covelo. We have just come from over 10,000 feet at Lassen into the brutal heat of the valley. I watch episode 2.

Sunday 7/30 - we stay in a motel in Grant's Pass the night before our rafting trip. This part of Oregon is in the middle of a record-breaking heat wave - by Wednesday the temperature will be 115! I watch episode 3.

See? There is NO pattern here!

Now I haven't been able to upload any pictures / blog posts here while in Hoh because the Verizon coverage is very weak. However, I discover that if I rest my right elbow on the hood of the van and face the moon I can get a very slow download speed to get going. In theory, if I stood in that position for over an hour spanning midnight I could download a fairly large file.

I watch episode 4 starting at 12:30 am.Read more
