Mcdermitt, NV to Bend, OR

Saturday September 11, 2004

     8:05am  I woke up in the back of Sheldon's truck. It's freezing. I'm going to go across the street to the Say When Casino and use the restroom.

     8:20am  I found a dime so I can play a couple more spins on the nickel slot.

     8:26am  I just came out of the casino. Dude, with those two nickels I won twenty more nickels so I got to play a little more. I noticed there was a pack of cigarettes lying on the chair right next to me. It has four cigarettes in it. I just smoked my last one. I scored a lighter too.

                   Thank you, Love. Thank you, Love. 

                   Now I'm walking to these people's house to get a ride. Hopefully, they'll give me breakfast.

     10:13am  We're leaving to Portland. We're already in Oregon.

     12:32pm  We're in Burn, OR at the truckstop.

     2:04pm  We stopped at some rest area. It's cool, really. I can feel the temperature difference. I knew I was going to need some more layers when I got to Oregon.

     3:25pm  I just got dropped off in Bend, Oregon. I changed my mind right when we drove into town. I saw cool kids walking around and I told them to drop me off at the next gas station. I don't want to go to Portland. I want to go to Eugene. I'll head West from here. They dropped me off at some gas station and I saw this young dude. I asked him, "Hey, I won me forty dollars last night on a nickel slot in Mcdermitt. Do you guys know where I can buy some marijuana?" He pulled out his cellphone and called his dude. He couldn't find any, but he told me about this park. I told him my story and blew his mind.

                   Things happen for a reason.

     2:32pm  I came to the gas station and asked people for weed. This guy Kyle has a story he wants to say. What's going on?

                   Kyle: "Skull and Bones is an old frat thing that all the presidents were in, in their college years. There's like 4 ex-presidents that pretty much rule the world. A little bit after WW2 and everyone in the 40's and 50's is pretty much brainwashed. They are living pretty much a fake life, because of that. They are living a lie."

     2:34pm  Kyle, the guy I told my story to is giving me a ride to that park. I'm going to score some weed.

     2:39pm  I got dropped off at the Juniper Swim Center in the parking lot. There's some cool kids hanging out. I'm going to score some weed. Just you watch.

     2:57pm  Tyler hooked me up with a hit in the park by the swim center. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thank you.

     4:15pm  I just took a picture of some girl with a big wad of grass on her head.

                   Here's a picture of all the kids hanging out in the park.

                   Another picture.

     5:50pm  Justin not only listened to my story, what was your name? Stewie is listening to my story too, he's giving me a snipe. I appreciate it.

     6:35pm  I'm going to go find some random stranger in the park and blow his mind.

                   Oh yeah, Justin hooked me up with some chocolates. I appreciate it. Everybody gets credit.

                   Everybody but Rogan.

     6:50pm  It's about time I made an update. We came to a different park. What park is it? Drake Park. Justin and Stewie are showing me around.

     6:53pm  I just wanted to mention that it really was kind of ironic. I thought I was going to Portland. I am turning west here at Bend.

                   You know fire consumes everything.

                   Lucky, we just walked by him on the bridge. He hooked me up with three cigarettes. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     7:42pm  I just had this awesome presentation with this one guy. I'm walking back to Drake Park now. He believes in God and stuff. He was all, "I'm really glad I met you." I told him, "You'll see me again. I've everywhere."

                   Oh yeah, did you notice how the name of this town is a sign? Bend at bend. Bending West.

                   Oh yeah, I was walking up Main Street up North. Earlier I had a good presentation with some guy on the bridge. Some guy fixing his scooter. I'm going to walk to the Safeway. I'm hungry. I'll get some Ramen noodles.

     8:10pm  I came to the Safeway. I'm hungry. Man, I don't want to spend any money. I asked the lady at the deli, "Hey, do you have any old food you can sell real cheap?" She said, "Yeah, sure." She's going to sell me all this macaroni and she's only charging me fifty cents. I appreciate it, Charlotte. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     8:15pm  Adam hooked me up with the nickel I needed here at the Safeway. I appreciate it, brother.

     8:23pm  Oh shit, I left my walking stick. Charlotte just brought it out to me.

     8:32pm  Brian just walked by and gave me a couple bucks. I didn't even ask for it. I appreciate it, brother. Everybody gets credit, thanks.

     8:40pm  I came to Safeway and I bought some macaroni and cheese from Charlotte. And I bought a Ramen noodle. I'm going to go back to the park, even though it's going to be late and the sun's down. I'm going to go see if I end up at a place to crash.

     8:59pm  I'm walking in front of the Alexander Drake Building on 250 NW Franklin Avenue. There's all these buildings. I'm sure I'll find a place to crash around here. Oh well, if they call the cops I'll go to jail and have a good chapter for my book.

     9:05pm  I came to Drake Park. I'm going to crash out here behind this wall by the lake. Perfect little squat. I'll take a picture of it in the morning.

Next day..
