The Black-eyed Susans nodded through the passenger window.
The exact procession of ten minutes went like this:
Compact blue rental sedan disgorged a bearded young man
And a young woman with dark brown hair streaked blue and pink,
Both of them in black tees and black harem pants, holding cameras
With which they took pictures of each other against the landscape;
Well-scuffed white sedan with Saskatchewan plates let out
A pearish white-haired woman with pale ale complexion
Who read the posted information silently then climbed back in;
Shiny black Mercedes Sprinter camper van, a-c unit on the roof,
California tags, pulled to within a hand's breadth of the sign, paused
And rolled back onto the road; another Sprinter, silver, pulled in behind,
Stayed in the middle of the pull-out a few minutes, then left;
Five Harley Davidson motorcycles, each featuring a thickset man
And a thickset woman seated behind, all in dark leather, rumbled and leaned
Until some effortful shouting over the engines ended in everyone
Roaring out again; large white Ram pickup with six wheels
Hauling a camper trailer as long as the whole pull-out pulled through,
The back of the trailer displaying its model logo, "FREEDOM."
