The station wagon is now deep in the piney woods northeast of the city as he searches vainly for the site of another nude bar, one that he has chased from two other prospective locations. "We'll get him sooner or later," he chuckles. On the drive home, he wheels up to a fading stucco relic aside the four-lane.
