It used to be, long years past, that the Greyhound bus stopped to pick up anyone along the highway who flagged it down. That changed with the times, but there were still bus depots, even in the smallest towns. Those went the way of the gold standard, the silver dollar, the milkman and the corner grocery a few years back until only large metropolitan areas like Spokane, Washington had bus depots. So you walked and begged rides if you didn't own a car or if you got stranded by a break-down. Ten years old, and, now, home isn't just North Idaho.
Home is the whole region.
