I was up in the Sierras next to the West Fork of the Carson river above Hope Valley. I was packing up to leave and he walked up and we starting talking. He introduced himself and asked if I was on RV.net Such the small world. He is a really nice guy.

Eric, thanks for the heads up, but I won't be there. Have fun and catch a lot of fish. 🙂

spacedoutbob: The odds for that to happen once are one-in-a-million. For it to happen twice at the same intersection are one-in-a-zillion!! I've told many friends about this over the years. Hope all is well with you.

I ran into Ramblin Ralph twice, within a year on Highway 29 heading out of Napa. The giveaway was the bumper sticker www.hogtimemusic.com I haven't seen him since, he told me that he thought I may be stalking him. It was just by pure chance.

Wow, what a surprise to find out I was subject of a post today!! Thanks Buzzcut1 for doing it! 🙂

It's always fun to talk to other TCers. Unfortunately, you were just leaving as I was taking my not-so-regular daily walk, so our chat was too short. Hopefully, our paths will cross again.

Safe travels to all,
Ralph

I have enjoyed viewing his many hundreds of scenic camping locations photos over the years. Great boondocking info from him.

Had a similar experience when we had the 5th wheel. Just inside the Marin County side of the Sonoma County coast, Dillon Beach was a sort of Woodstock affair. Just pay and park it! Recognized a trailer and Expedition from a signature here while out for a walk. They be ame great friends!
Ralph has to be a super interesting guy!
