I could tell by the blank-ass expressions on their faces that they had no idea what I meant.

“Canyon carving is hard, fast riding on twisty roads. Each turn might be your last. It’s damn fun, too.”

Boss asked, “Where were you riding?”

“My crew and I were up near the Ouachita National Forest, around the same area where people would go for the Talimena scenic drive.”

“Damn. That’s nearly four hours from here.”

And it was mostly backroads. I loved every minute of that drive. I was never a city boy, more at home with people who wore overalls and shoes were optional.

I shrugged. “There’s nothing like being on the open road with nothing but your thoughts. Course, when we got back to town all hell had broken loose.”

We’d camped in the national forest, spending our nights around a fire smoking some good weed and talking club business. Our motorcycle club was on the verge of taking on new members and we wanted to make sure we were all on the same page. It was also the same meeting where everyone would vote for the next club president, since our last one had gone to jail. Everyone assured me the spot would go to me and I was more than ready to take charge.

I said, “We were in that area for about a week. No cell phones, either. One of the guys wanted to go into town for a beer run, so I said I’d go, too, since my bike had saddle bags.”

When we got to the small town, it was empty. I’m talking not a soul in sight. We didn’t think much about it, until we got to the convenience store. There was a sign that said to take whatever we wanted, and may god bless our souls. Looking back, I wondered why we didn’t try the phone or even look at the newspapers on the counter. Instead, we took as much beer as we could carry and went back to the campsite and got shitfaced.

We probably would have stayed out there longer, but we ran out of weed. So, reluctantly, we packed our shit and began the journey back to Oklahoma City. The roads out in that area go between state highways and roads through small towns, so it wasn’t unusual not to see anyone. When we reached the main highway and saw all the parked semis we wondered what was up. My buddy was convinced a tornado had come through the area. It was the only explanation for all the stalled vehicles and semis and, since Oklahoma was known for bad weather, we blindly accepted the theory.

“We fueled up and headed toward the city, not seeing a single soul. We did see a biter, but we didn’t know that’s what it was at the time. We figured it was just some drunk, walking in a field.”

Dave let out a laugh. “Bet that was a sight to see.”

“It was. We made good time getting back. When we got to Del City, we stopped for more fuel.
