In 1977 I had just turned 18. My girlfriend and I were caught by the local
police in the back seat of my 66 Mustang. We were into it pretty heavy when
all the sudden blue lights were flashing in my back window. We got dressed
and stepped outside the car and they checked us for pot and alcohol. Before
they let us go one officer asked us what we were doing and I said something
stupid like 'just talking'. And before they walked away the same officer
looked at me, winked and said 'nice rose'. I instantly knew then that we
were caught - she had a red rose embroidered on the back pocket of her
jeans, the jeans I was wearing.
Thanks, Tom Hargrave

Spent about 3 weekends taking out the seats, building a bed and cabinets,
swap meet Coleman Stove for $3, ice chest, a flashlight. Sleeping bags.
Van already had curtains. Yep, good to go.

outside motel rooms. Like 20 motel rooms....all with their doors wide open!
Apparently the Tour had indicated to participants to do that. So....I'm in
the very middle...about 10 doors left and 10 doors right.

I saw Opportunity! Believe it or not, I took it! Raced inside, closed the
room door, took a hot shower!, raced back outside....back to Van.

There were two. One started on the left, one started on the middle. I was
in the middle!!! Both worked to the right. I was an ounce away from being
caught!

things you do when you are 20.
