Fuel Mileage

[Grumpy Goat]

Darrell might be the expert, but I'll suggest a premise - Motel costs on the 2-lanes run median costs that are 50% of those off the interstate.

For work, I'm a Marriott guy, but on the road I'm looking for the classic motels for a few hours rest. Recently stayed in Hermann, MO for $29 plus tax at a mom and pop (and daughter) operation - good lock, no mold, no bed bugs (I always check).

Just a thought.

Remember - time is not money; time is life.

Thanks to Darrell I am a Best Western convert, but only when my wife is with me and I need to have good accommodations. When it is just me or me and the cheap riding buddies I also ride with, $40 is the rule of thumb. Sometimes it works out and sometimes you are a little nervous. Not only do you have to worry about the lock, mold and bedbugs, but you also have to worry about the "activities" outside throughout the night.

But $29 / night has to be a low record for somewhere that is decent.

I like the last bit - never heard it before - "time is not money; time is life."
