Here are the two hikers to whom we gave a lift while we were in Yosemite National Park; one is a former cop and the other had a lot of jobs, including blues club owner. Michael gave some details earlier in the post.
What he didn't tell you is that we were in the middle of a fight--I'd been attacked by mesquitos (15 bites in less than 5 minutes) and was picking a fight with Michael. Michael was not being very good and refused to fight and went into the local store. I'm still fuming when he comes back 5 minutes later, saying, bright and cheerily, "I've got these two nice guys that want a ride." We have only the driver's seat and the passenger seat, the other seats have been removed for better storage. The rest of the van is packed with our gear.
I'm thinking, "First of all, I'm not done being right. And second of all, where the heck are they suppossed to sit?"
It was very nice giving them a ride--I was expecting a couple of obnoxious SoCal boys, but they were so fun to talk to. They gave us the inside scoop on the contentious Oregon/California relationship.
So where did they sit?
ReplyDeleteGreat question! They sat on the floor scrunched between our food/supply bins and in front of our blankets/pillows. It was neat getting to talk to two guys who wear bone tired from their 3 day hike and sitting in cramped positions while I bumped along Yosemite's roads because they were in such good spirits!
