From L.A. to AL 2 AM local time, I'm riding from coast to coast and on my way back home, I encounter and older, kindred spirit making his way back home. We both took naps at a rest stop on the border of AZ near Blythe, CA to escape the desert cold. At a Flying J with nothing but chairs to rest in, we both were taking our chances on the open road, away from our civilized origins. We traded adventure stories; the places we road, the things we've seen, and danger we faced. Two strangers, from opposite sides of the country, became brothers, connected by the road.
