Bucko apparently checked into the motel on Thursday night but checked out early Friday morning before contacting any of us. Don't know if the problem was that people were arriving at different times (I didn't get to Prosser until almost 10:00 PM Thursday) and Dananne arrived Friday afternoon. I think KC's trio arrived Thursday evening also and went out for some provisions (Prosser closes down early--except for what was the name of that tavern?-- and they ended up asking at the Police Station !! where they could buy groceries). Maybe Bucko felt deserted. Or maybe he was unhappy with the accommodations (the room was fine with me except no elevator to the second floor). We still don't know why we didn't hear from you, Bucko. How about it?
