The Granada got a flat tire in a sleepy town in Oregon called Camp Sherman. Dad had no idea how to change a tire and found a mechanic who could. He was tired from the drive and, intending to stay for the night, asked if there was a hotel nearby. The mechanic suggested a cabin resort called the Twin View. The owners, Joyce and Nick Osika, showed him to a knotty-pine cabin with a single bed and linoleum floors, where he would end up staying for a year.
