THIS MONKEY'S HITCHHIKERS GUIDE:FAMILY MAN TRUCKER

        This next rig was custom fit for Darryl, and his 8 year old daughter. She had a huge bunk space where she had a Nintendo 64 set up to occupy her as she accompanied her dad on his journey thru Oregon to Redding,CA. He seemed like a normal decent hard working American merely supporting his family as every family man should. Darryl allowed me to ride along so everything became swiftly efficient as the transition between escaping Ronnie's cab and entering Darryl's was a fairly quick exchange.  We were traveling thru more immensely beautiful and vast terrain. Mostly mountain passes that hosted giant monsters of trees, raging waters, overrun with wildlife, and all shared by the spirit of mountain people that inhabited this corner of America.  There is a shit ton of marijuana cultivators in these mountains of Oregon and northern California. Darryl was like all the drivers that had given me a lift in that their motives to have me along was for the mere enjoyment of conversation as they drove their routes, the same ones they'd traveled a thousand times over. My time with Darryl and his daughter was  short-lived. The trip took a few hours, and besides a bad ass gun he showed me that he carried for protection, nothing too interesting or eventful occurred throughout the ride and our conversing consisted of a lot of bullshit on my part. Darryl was too down to earth for me to speak candidly with him about certain subjects, an apparent difference compared with my talks with Ronnie, due to his character naturally arose any random  crude subject. We pulled into Redding where I would find the strangest of the three as my next chauffeur south further down California's mid-coastal spine. If I could meet and interview every single person on the planet I still would never fully grasp the entire soul of the human condition. Characters thrive among us, and everyone has something that they carry which holds power to enlightenment.
