Bigfoot Motel ... again

Bigfoot Motel

Don't hit tall hairy men walking.

If you asked me this morning what my week was going to be like I would have told you that Monday I was going to be in Hercules, about an hour away, Tuesday I would be in Morgan Hill, 30 minutes away, Wednesday I would get up really early and drive to Sacramento, two hours away, then go to Livermore, half way to my house, then Thursday I would be going to Fremont, about 3o minutes away and Friday I would be just going to my office, about 10 minutes from my house. I got to the high school in Hercules and then had to go to another office about 30 minutes out of my way to pick up some paperwork. As I was driving to the office I realized I forgot my computer at the school so I would have to go back. Also on my drive I got a call from a guy I work with that is about a 6 hour drive north of me. He told me that he needed my help on Tuesday and asked if I could come up for the day. He wants me to go to Hoopa Valley High School which is a 7.5 hour drive for me. So I coordinated a change in my plans for Tuesday, drove by my house to get a change of clothes, and started driving. I stopped and picked up my computer on the way and then kept driving ... and driving ... and driving. Luckily I had checked out two books to listen to on Friday and I finished one book and will finish the second before Wednesday. I drove up to Hoopa, California and am spending the night in the Bigfoot Motel. I love this place because the motel is really terrible, but the people are very nice. I stayed here about ten months ago and I have looked forward to staying here again. The bigfoot museum is right next door to the motel. The high school I am going to is on an Indian Reservation and it is humbling to see. So now my schedule is Monday go to Hercules then drive 7 hours north and spend the night. Then go to Hoopa Valley High School and drive 5 hours south and spend the night. I will then go to Lincoln High and then drive an hour south and go to a high school in Livermore and then finally get home about 6pm. Thursday I will go to American High in Fremont and then, maybe, go to the high school in Morgan Hill in the afternoon. Then Friday fill out all my reports for the week and rest on the weekend (except we know there is no rest on the weekend because I teach for 10 hours Saturday and Sunday). I really do enjoy my job and I should get some great pictures tomorrow on my drive!!
