Teddy Dollarhide, a rough man with ruddy skin and pearl-white hair whom everyone calls “Old Salt”, is plagued by reoccurring dreams in which he is a crew member on the Spanish galleon La Gracia that he believes went down in a violent hurricane in the 17th century with countless jewels and gold on board.

Touch of the Unknown Rider picks up 20 years down the road from where The Modern Outlaws left off. Buster Fetteroff is strong in purchasing power but adrift in life and love, motivation and destination. Seeking something more, he dreams of beautiful wilderness. He and Larraine are still fit but attract second looks more from others than each other. They share a house but lead separate lives with different values and varying tastes. Applying the good sense between them, they navigate the fork in the road.

The Modern Outlaws are riders of a new century. We laugh like honest men at a rotary luncheon. We shake hands on our new business, understanding that it doesn’t mean shit, not one speck of it, because getting lost and becoming someone else begins with the utterance of your very name. We pulsate on a single idea, which is that of recapturing in the next 10 days what we’ve missed for the last 30 years. Where the early years were gilded with promise, the middle years assure these men that this is it, what it all comes down to, what happened to us.
