Deb and I took a couple of days get away to the Cape, haven't been in years. Quick photo stop at Chattam Coast Guard Light house.
Backing out of the parking spot was difficult because of the amount of traffic. Finally a small white car stops to let me back out. Backing up I noticed the registration plate was MILES.  I look in the car and sure enough it was Steve Crazy Miles driving. 
Quite a coincidence, especially since I only know one person who lives on the Cape.

Wow! Quite a coincidence. Did you guys get a chance to stop and talk?

Quite the shock I bet Gary...Hope you were able to get a chance to chat for a bit...

GaryC

No chance to stop, and I don't think he saw me.

Just goes to show you that you should be have all of the time.  You never know when you will run into someone you know.  This ole world is getting much smaller.
I ran into a guy from high school (graduated 1979) out on a cruise in the middle of the Gulf of America.  I haven't even seen him since 1971, because I moved to the Houston area, out of the small West Texas town that year.

It's a small, small world.

Glad you got out for a pleasant ride tho!

Thats too bad Gary, as it would have been nice to have caught up with Crazy and Bev...

So true HH, in the world getting smaller and smaller.
A couple months ago my wife and I were in a brewery 150 miles away from here and met a young man (40ish) that met our son 6000 miles away in Homer, Alaska...The young man is an engineer on a crabbing boat and was hauled up in Homer for a couple days...

where you the one in the blue pick up??  :roll: I take that loop every day.  8)  traffic is real bad now.  :tickedoff:   My loop goes as follow,  sound  side then coast side then bay side.  I can still drive! 



GaryC

Ha, yea that was me in the bright blue Tacoma!  Sorry for cutting you off LOL. It wasn't until after we started moving I recognized you.  Hope you, Bev and Stevie Jr are well.

Crazy Miles

that parking lot is a mad house, :tickedoff:  but so is all of the Cape!  I thought to myself, I know that guy,- na- could not be him,  he was all white hair?  ;D  hope you and Deb had a good time!
