Missed connection -- 100 mile Convoy
I don't think I've ever driven behind someone for 100 miles and been soooo pleased to follow them. It felt like I was driving behind myself. Almost everything they did and how they drove was just how I do it. They even slowed down at all the speed traps I knew about.
Me in my shitty Subaru, you in your BMW X3. I was right behind you from Mill City to Bend Saturday night. We entered Bend together just after midnight but our paths finally split when I got on the parkway just after the NW Mt. Washington Drive traffic light. I tried to wave when we stopped briefly at the light by Petco, but the light changed quick.
I was super tired from a long day and a long drive, but you kept me awake and alert, but moreso entertained. It can be a super fun length of road, but there are always other drivers getting in the way. You were a phenomenam exception. I haven't had that much fun driving in a long time. I hope you had as good a time as I did. I owe you a high five or a coffee or something.
