Small World

New neighbors pulled in a couple of days ago. Before we had a chance to meet them, we heard about them. We heard they are friends of Carl and Linda, good folks we met in Texas and who arrived here a week or so ago. We'd also heard they know Ed and Marilyn, whom we also met in Texas, and a few other fellow fulltimers.

With so many folks in common, we were eager to meet the new folks next door. Between the weather, our activities and theirs, we had yet to meet. Late this afternoon we finally made their acquaintance. We chatted for a bit and decided to get to know each other over happy hour.

Yep, they're our kind of people!

Mike and Leslie have been on the road for two years. The stories of our great escapes share many similarities, including purchasing a new rig on the road. Their Montana is simply lovely! It turns out that these fun people have met lots of fellow fulltimers we look forward to meeting, and vice versa. We have many fulltiming friends in common. In fact, Leslie recognized us as Boris and Natasha! While we may be spread out all over the continent, tonight's conversation reminded us that the fulltiming world is a small world, indeed.

We look forward to spending more time with these new friends during the rest of our stay, and catching up with them and their friends somewhere down the road. And, we have a new reason for making time to meet our neighbors wherever we park: You just never know when you might be parked next to the friend of a friend.
