The California Highway Patrol ( CHP ) stopped by as we were parked & chatted with us. Here is my friend Dennis receiving an unexpected compliment.

It all started as we rode by a well hidden CHP speed trap a few miles back going 50 in a 50mph zone.

About a mile up the road we stopped (here) to take in the view, approx. a minute later...this officer rolled up. Somewhat of a nervous moment at first...lol

He started out the conversation by simply saying... "Thanks guys for riding safely"

Turns out he rides as well, was impressed how we rolled by his speed-trap in formation, of course checking out the bikes.
For 15 minutes he sat in his patrol car & enjoyed talking with us.

I did notice a dramatic reduction in speeding traffic on this stretch of PCH1 during his presence... :O)

Wow, what a great officer...pure chance encounter. Great day!
