There's a motel down in Crescent City that was built all out of one tree. I used to love that place. Each room had a covered parking space all its own. Pets welcome. The bathrooms were all OG tile and sturdy and clean. You could watch old movies all night with no commercials. There were rooms for smokers and rooms for nonsmokers. You got a free breakfast at the restaurant across the street, and coffee from the office 'round the clock.
