Go East, Young Man

Mare and I are heading East this weekend. Our destinations are both Spokane (visiting family) and Athol, Idaho ... home of Silverwood Theme Park.

Silverwood is the largest theme park in Washington, Idaho, or Oregon. They've got three great coasters, including the first-ever inverted coaster (they bought it from Knott's a few years back). For a coaster fanatic like me, Silverwood is a great way to get my fix without having to hit Six Flags. (And yes, I know that Six Flags bought Enchanted Village, but their coasters are kind of underwhelming.)

The other cool thing about this weekend (in addition to seeing my Dad, which is always great) is that our hotel is in downtown Spokane. That means we'll be able to finally check out the much-ballyhooed Spokane HotZone free wireless network. Essentially, Spokane has invested in a WiFi infrastructure that covers 100 square blocks. Can you believe it? Spokane. In Seattle, I'm forever scampering around, trying to see which coffee shops have free WiFi.
