    In the right place at the right time. Nice work getting a meet shot in such a remote location.

    John were you riding?

    I find folks who go on these long rides in the wilderness, if the crew is friendly (in 2026) you can still get off and get photos of meets from time to time.

    It’s certainly one way to do it!
