I offered to visit with her. She didn’t need any mechanical help but wanted to talk about my trips to Mexico. After a couple of hours with maps and
photo albums, it was starting to get dark and she said it was time to go and asked if I knew of any place nearby to camp. I used to use the very same line myself! It’s a very non-pressuring way of asking if you can crash with someone. If the potential host really doesn’t want company, it is very easy to give directions to the nearest National Forest or campground. The last time I used the “Know a good place to camp?” line many, many years ago, I was in a roadhouse bar in Iowa, and I ended up at the Eastern Iowa Dope-Growers’ Fall Harvest Party, out in the country on a river levee. I had a futon all set up, so it was no trou-
ble to have her stay the night. When I came downstairs the next morning, she was all loaded up and ready to ride further south. She was definitely carrying a lot of gear, and it looked well organized on her 1983 R 65. She has been riding for “around 40 years.” This short but nice encounter reminded me of my wanderings on the Slash Five. We’re hoping to do a bit of wan- dering this winter. This year we’ll stay on the U.S. side of the border and visit a num- ber of friends and places in the Southwest. We keep adding things we want to see, so it’ll be a slow three weeks or so. We’ll trailer the bikes south, drop off the car and trailer and ride around. It should be a string of low-mileage days, and we’re looking for- ward to it!
