We go out into the searing daylight and I get in his truck and we go in search of the county 's Historical Society . We spend about a half hour there , trying without success to find out how a local motel , the Blue Mist , got its name . The woman behind the desk tells us that Mormons are plotting to take over the world . We find a Mexican restaurant , sit at a table , and eat albondigas .

why did we try to find out about how the motel blue mist got its name ?
It has an interesting name
