Dark Highway - Bijou Planks 15/365 - a photo on Flickriver

Saturday night cruising outside the city limits...

It's well past sundown at Mortie's Sinclair station out on Highway 35,* but Mortie doesn't mind working late. He's more at home here at his shop than he is at his house.

Tonight is clear and cool. Mortie's sweet '56 Jag is parked outside and he's got a wild custom Mustang in the bay that he's having a ball working on. Imagine, getting paid for what you love.

Plus there are the night riders.

The further you get away from Paprihaven proper on Highway 35, the riskier it gets, and Mortie is about as far out as he'd like. Past his station there's the Cozy Cones Motel** and then you're just running between Thistledeep*** and the Queen's Castle.****

But the open miles of sand and rock south of 35 make for excellent off-roading, so some always venture out. There are the regulars, such as tonight with Bo Warren's Jeep 4x4 and Al Corn's classic 1972 Ford Bronco 4x4.

Mortie will gas em up and tell them to be careful. They'll laugh it off, climb back in, and gun it back out onto 35, throwing gravel. Mortie will smile, happy at their fun times, but then he'll say a little prayer.

Because people headed west on 35 don't always come back...
