Been fun reading these post. Great thread idea.

I've got so many, but here's one:

A partner and I were touring in rural Mississippi couple of years ago in January. It was noon, we were tired, and I was about out of water. Miles from any services. Heard an engine and looked back to find a 4 wheeler chasing after us. A man on the front, woman on the back, rifle in a rack. Jack and Rita were curious to know about a couple of fellows riding on 'their' road on loaded bicycles. One thing led to another and soon we were at their nice home, visiting and being fed and watered. Made our day.
