Guys. What a busy week. Team NW is back to long drives with short stops, and having a blast! We started off in Rocklin, CA at the home of Ana’s brother’s friend’s parent’s house (try to keep up with that one) because Ana’s brother’s friend’s sister, Laura (see picture above), decided to hook us up with an awesome SYS and documentary screening at the coffee shop where she used to work. We rolled in on her 18th birthday, and as a result got to partake in some delicious blackberry birthday pie! We also did an event at Whitney High School and then it was off to our boss, Hammer’s, alma mater, Oak Ridge High School in El Dorado Hills. Then it happened. Remember the knife. You know, Carolyn’s knife. Well, Ana got a hold of it. I won’t go into details, but this is where we ended up.
After breaking Ana out, we were listening to Johnny Cash and back on our way to El Dorado Hills where we got to stay with Hammer’s parents.
(Hammer, it’s too late. We’ve seen the baby pictures. We’ve seen the awkward middle school pictures. We’ve seen the high school pictures. We’ve seen (and heard) everything we need to know. You can contact us for our list of demands. You know the number.)
From El Dorado Hills we headed to Spokane. It’s a pretty long drive so we stopped off in Rufus, OR, a bustling metropolis complete with a restaurant and 2 motels. However, despite all appearances of the town or lack thereof, our stay at the Hillview Motel in Rufus was nothing short of extraordinary. The place is owned by an ultra-friendly family who loved what TOMS is doing so much that they made us open up the van so they could buy a pair of shoes for their son, right there on the spot!!!

After that, we completed our journey to Spokane where we got to hang out with Zach, our campus rep intern’s, crazy ridiculous brothers for a night.
Since then we’ve been staying with the Turner’s who were friend’s of Ana’s family and now are friends of all of us!
That’s Hunter Turner. My new best friend.
We’re at Whitworth today, and then it’s off to Portland. We’ll see ya there!
