When I pulled into Wichita Falls, it was cold and rainy; I had heard it was snowing in Amarillo - it was almost exactly to the date this time of year too! Hardley anyone on the main road either. I have to say, I wasn't much impressed by this town. It seemed pretty sketch, and someone actually stole one of my footpegs off of my bike.
Anyway, I found some run-down motel run by a Dot family in town. They were all run by Dots back then. I walked in to the check-in and asked if they had hot running water. The Dot said yes. So, I paid $10 for the night. The room was typical roach-motel, complete with a couple live roaches. Ceiling was warped and stained. The tub/shower just had a pipe coming out of the wall to put water into the tub. But, the Dot didn't lie - the water was hot. The room even had heat So, I filled up that tub with hot water and soaked for a couple of hours trying to get rid of my hypothermia. I hung my wet cloths over the heater to dry them out. Then, I fell asleep for about 10 hours. I was good-to-go the next day........warmer...........dry............and less my left highway-peg.
