More reasons to love the Grayland Motel: - no one cares when you leave (although I'm not there in the summer) - the neighbors wave hello when I cut across their land with the Beverage wire - getting invited to a clam digger's room for fresh linguini and clams in white sauce
And who needs cell phone service or phones in the room? It is vey comfortable to be the only (or one of few) people there and listen to the rain or hail while you read a book on Saturday afternoon. BTW, I believe the motel was closed a few weeks ago for Mike's annual break for the opening of hunting season. The corner of the motel has sunk another handful of inches due to the water table shift from the construction next door. It seems to bother the sewage pipes and is causing major settling cracks. If it keeps up another year, it will be serious news. The good news is that there are 2 open WiFi networks at a just barely receivable level so the Internet is available from the comfort of the Grayland Motel with a good WiFi setup.

I have always enjoyed staying there, no maids coming through to wake a guy up after a morning of DXing. We like staying there on winter week days when we're the only ones staying out in back rooms. 50 mph winds, sometimes lightening and thunder, and even a power outage every now and then. Grayland Beach State park is also nice, the yurts are interesting. The only problem I had was shutting the door with two coax cables under it -- Grayland motel has the cool little windows for cables to go through. Good luck Gary & Guy in Grayland. Expecting around 200 kids tonight for Halloween. Last year we had 187 kids. No rain yet, should help totals.
