Moses Lake, Wash.

I've been to Seattle, Spokane, Pullman/Moscow (where I have cousins) and into western Idaho. If you have to drive two hours FROM Pullman to get somewhere, that classifies as "end of the world."

 

it's to the west dude, heading back to the world.

 

why do you hate the quincy jackrabbits?

 

Tom's right.

It's not so much the end of the world, more like the middle of nowhere.

It's a nice little town, though. The lake is very nice and makes it like a high-desert oasis. It's relatively green (thanks to irrigation) and the drive to Spokane is boring, but quick.

I've got no quarrel with the good folks in Quincy. Now, those bastards at Lind-Ritzville are another story.

 

lmao - yes, those rat-bastard ritzville folks can burn in hell.

also, when i think about moses lake, i think more: in the middle of somewhere, with a nowhere zip code ... since cool places really aren't THAT far away.

also, does that area still have the irrigation "ditches" to cool off in during the 100-degree summer days?

 

What is your problem?

 

You've got it all wrong. The Ephrata Tigers are the evil empire of the (Caribou Trail League?). Or at least they were 20 years ago.

And there's still canals everywhere, I believe. But I think the water slides are gone after the big scandal.

 

scandal? do tell.

some of the best days of my life were spent just before my junior year of high school at those "canals," flanked by several cold short racks and rather hot ephrata girls during the dead of summer.

 

If memory serves, a scam artist put together a group of investors to finance the water slides. He put up enough of the capital he'd collected to get them built, but pocketed the rest and disappeared. I'm sure I'm screwing up the details, but that's the gist of what I remember about it.

 

thanks.
