I am here and have spent the day meandering the coast. I am also a dork - US 26 is not the road I was remembering. Not sure what was. I visited Ecola State Park which made up for the lack of scary roads on the drive out here. I am glad I did not know what the roads there were like going in. I would not have gone if I had, but the parts I could see were so beautiful.... (Large chunks of the park are only accessible to hikers. I'm not sure I'm up to those trails in cool weather, in summer weather I am quite sure I'm not.)
I am checked in at the hostel now and it is very nice. I definitely will have computer/internet access if I need it but it is $1 per 15 minutes, so you may not hear from me with my usual obsessiveness. Then again, I may have access from the workshop (well, after the workshop) also. And I'm going to try the library tomorrow, I think. But I definitely do have at least sporadic access.
They even have a printer, so if the workshop computers are really busy, I can come back here and pay $1 and be able to type up and print a poem if I need to.
The parking lot is small - smaller than I realized when I was told it almost never filled up. I find that dubious. It has maybe 10-15 spaces, I think, and there's multiple 6-person dorms here plus single rooms.... The dorm is just fine. There is only one other woman in my dorm right now, silver-haired and polite. It turns out she is in the poetry workshop with me! We both just stopped and stared once we started the "so what are you here for" conversation. I've loaned her my Marvin Bell anthology (not the reader, I once again could not find that when packing - I brought Nightworks down) as she's mostly only gotten to read his Dead Man poems and not anything else - I recommended To Dorothy.
Off again now - well, after a couple more minutes reading but don't expect me to keep up with my whole friends page, please. Must decide if I am driving (and risking a lack of parking space on return) or walking (...quite a ways, to anything interesting...but then again it's all flat and I can rest and I should be fine. Hm.)
