Leapfrog Traveling Buddies - interesting tangent
So. While on our way to Durango, we were driving along a winding mountain pass and decided to pull into the scenic overlook. What do I see but the Prius with the trailer that Opa spent 15 minutes admiring after we passed it through an intersection! I mention it to him as we park. Opa goes to examine it, he is always intrigued by most people's "stuff"; anything modified or added- campers, trailers, sidecars, etc. As we finish getting our helmets off, we notice a couple approaching.
This couple immediately recognizes the rigs and Opa! We all start to talk. Turns out they talked with Opa while I had been washing dishes and brushing my teeth after breakfast in Marion! They also camped in Amarillo, TX (although, we didn't run into each other)! AND, they were definitely the people that we had seen in Alamosa, earlier! The husband, Ben, mentioned that he was writing a blog of the adventures with his wife, Lyn, and that we were mentioned and would be mentioned again! We exchanged facebook information and I waited not-so-patiently for service or wifi to check out the mentions and photos!
In his post from Marion, he mentioned that we were two campsites away. They had exchanged comments about "living the dream" whether it was his Prius and 1964 pop-up camper or our sidecars with tents (or his usual camper). He had taken pictures of the bikes, even got a shot of Opa's cane strapped to the frame between the bike and the sidecar.
In the second post we were mentioned in, we were labeled as, "the Grandfather Granddaughter Sidecar Motorcycle Team". He even mentioned my post about crossing the 100,000 mile mark.
