The bike tourists on the coast often tend to move at near the same rate and can see each other over and over again. We met Morgan and Gwen clear up in the redwoods in the very north of California, and rode with them again at Monterey, but found them again this day. There we were riding by agricultural fields and Morgan and Gwen are sitting there on the sofa they found on the side of the road. They looked very much at home.

These two are idealogues. They're on the bikes because of an extreme rejection of cars; they're as green as they come and as delightfully idealistic as any young couple could ever be. They refuse to pay for a place to stay, so we never see them at the (very cheap) campgrounds at night, just along the road in the daytime. They're experts in stealth camping and free camping. They're just 19 and 25, and we are amazed to see the great adventure they've undertaken - they're going on to Mexico.
