Road Warrior

An Undefined Path

I met Jeff on the side of HWY 1 on my drive back from the Lost Coast somewhere north of Fort Bragg.

My wife and I had pulled off the side of the road to look at the view when I noticed a guy on his Harley eating hot dogs from a can for breakfast. Yum! I stood back for a few minutes observing his moment looking over the ocean, then snapped some pics unnoticed before approaching him.

We began talking about a whale he had spotted off shore just before we arrived and how he had ridden his bike across the country from New York over the last month. He was on his way down the coast with no real destination in mind. With a sleeping bag and tent strapped to his bike, Jeff had no intention of going home soon. His plan was to stay on the road for another year or two.

Yet another random encounter with a friendly stranger. So many stories to tell, so many people to meet.
