A Chance Meeting on the Oregon Coast
Three of us toured the Oregon Coast in the Summer of 1980, staying in public hiker/biker camps along the way south to California (it was50 cents at night at that time). The day's ride over, and after setting uptents, hitting the showers, and making a run to a close-by store, it was timeto relax. The third in our little bike group, Tom, was about 300 yards awayconversing with another knot of riders and treating himself to an entirecheesecake for dinner. He probably figured Jim and I would joke about what apig he was eating that whole pie and decided to eat among strangers. Threehours later after sharing stories and remarking on a few coincidences thatturned up here and there, Tom and one of the former strangers realized theywere cousins, meeting in this most unlikely place for the first time.

funny story, and given that it happened 36 years ago, it still gets remembered--its neat how bike trip memories stick with us.
Hope Tom didnt become obese, given his horrible eating habits ;-)
