This Motel we stopped at in Emmettsberg was not first class but as it was the only one in town we had no choice but to take it or ride another twenty miles and gamble We had done enough riding for that day anyway. Supposed to be air-conditioned but if it was it didn't function.

After we washed up we went downtown to look for a place to eat and had to settle for a Greek Restaurant and Combination spa.

As usual in most of these type places we had an unsatisfactory meal but it filled up the hole temporarily. Walked around the Main Street for a while and then back to the Motel and ready for bed.

Funny thing about these Motels-cars start pulling out anywhere's from three o'clock on. If the place is filled up there is a "No Vacancy" sign lit up at the entrance but still they try to get in. So you  hear them turn around and drive out again.
