I was in Pullman last month on a road trip and here are my notes:
-As I headed towards Pullman north on 95 the view up on the hill of Lewiston, ID is spectacular
-Went North over that hill and immediately met light brown wheat fields for miles around as far as I could see
-Stopped by the visitors bureau and was told my best chance of finding Mike Leach mid-week in the morning was to go to a local coffee shop. I tried two coffee shops on Main Street. Coffee was good, but no Mike.
-Tacos on Grand & Whitman outside of this abandoned train station were worth the stop.
-Parked and walked around Martin Stadium and then tried to somehow get inside to no avail. But i was easily able to get inside the building and walk around the athletic offices. People were very friendly.
-Drove around to the east side of campus and viewed the Bears
-On my way out of town I checked out the Bill Chipman bike trail which is a converted train track. Starts in Pullman just east of Bishop Blvd and mirrors 270 towards Moscow, ID for 7 miles
-Finally, for those curious what the "Palouse" means. I discovered its and Indian word meaning "vegetation coming up out of the ground". Referring to the agriculture of the region. This is according to the lady at the Pullman Visitors Bureau.
I did go out that night in Pullman as well, but alas it was a Wednesday and nothing was really going on that night.
