I enjoyed the story, from the John Prine reference (Goofy world, indeed) to Glenn Hall's reply to the trooper. i'm not sure i'd have either the quickness of wit nor the audacity to give such a reply to a hungry trooper.
?As with many of the stories, I find it stirring to learn that there are plenty of guys - including some considerably older than me (69+) who are still doing long / cross-country, sometimes solo rides? I've stuck fairly close to home here in Colorado's front range, for the last couple years; but maybe when this pandemic has abated, i'll venture out again.
Thx. for the story, Todd.
