Great idea.

I liked this quote;

"The encounters were somewhat intimidating, as the Marines wore flight suits and toted weapons."

it kind of reminds me of back in the day when myself, chubbsy, Jack Moore and a NC Park Ranger who will remain unnamed to protect his identity, were night riding what were previously illegal trails on Mecklenburg County property off Tyvola Rd aproximately 15 years ago. While riding all of a sudden out of nowhere comes a police helicopter with its spotlight all over us. while we tried to scatter and hide like coach roaches however there was no hiding from the spotlight and what i expect was infrared. We all seperated and as i tried to exit the BYT near Marion Diehl center i came across 2 police officers. When i asked them what was going on (trying to play it cool) they let me know they were looking for a young girl that was reported missing...When we all regrouped at our staging area we had a good laugh at how we thought the folks in the helicopter were probably laughing at us, especially knowing that when Jack was hiding behind trees he was actually broader than most the trunks he was hiding behind.

Haha ha..

They get their bikes back after paying the tickets. 
Where I rode in Hawaii we would come across military personnel all the time. We stopped once for a safety meeting deep in the Jungle and were finishing up when we noticed a 50 cal machine gun nest about 10 yards away. Manned by 3-4 infantrymen who were pretty envious judging from their comments as we rode off!
