Before you know it, dates, French bread, salami and a bottle of Mr. Wente's best Grey Riesling are passing from hand to hand. Monksee announces that he will be too busy to count heads after every rest stop, but he doesn't want to leave anyone behind. A buddy system springs up as spontaneously as food and drink.
