    Default Home safe

    I didn't see a thread for everyone to post on when they made it home, so I'll start.

    Made it home a little while ago, no issues and weather was somewhat cooperating. It was really foggy when we left and ran into a little rain. I did get to see the arch, well, some of it, did I mention it was foggy.

    Hope everyone makes it home safe!

    Default Soggy, but home!

    We rolled in around 2:30PM this afternoon after leaving Cuba 9-ish. Fog pretty thick all the way to Jefferson City, and a combination of drizzle/rain/thunderstorms all the way back to Kansas City.
    We're happy (and a bit soggy) and LOVED our first Spyderfest!

    Thinking and for everyone on the road!

    Default Left at 7:30 this AM

    Lots of fog until just before St. Louis and then it lifted. Hit some rain across central IL later but home safe and sound around 2:30 PM. What a wonderful time meeting so many new friends (and not remembering names!) and seeing so many spyders in oneplace. Truly looking forward to next year's festivities!

    Vickers and I left at 6 am. Lots of fog and hit some fairly heavy rain east of St Louis, the RT did a bit of hydroplaning, very interesting! Home safe by 1:45 pm.

    I actually left Saturday morning at o'dark thirty. Guess I should know not to believe the weather reports, but the worst I encountered was drizzle and heavy winds north of Indianapolis. Didn't plan on it, but made it all the way home in time for dinner. So what kind of home cooked meal was waiting for me? Domino's pizza! Maybe I should have called to say I would be home.

    Yeah the RS had to take the lead in the rain and blaze a trail for the RT.

    We got on the road about 9:30, FOG!, watched condensation run off the windshield all the way to St. Louis, but no rain, then it cleared up. Hit the back roads at Terre Haute, took our time, dropped Debbie at her place around 4:30, good ride.

    Left Cuba @ 8:30am and missed almost all rain, not enough to get my gear wet . Followed I-44 east with the storm to the north. Went south of St. Louis then turned north between storm cells and stayed a mile ahead of the rain. It would just start to sprinkle a little at each gas stop as we (SNY, Yblue, Gary Lester) left. Started dumping 30 minutes after getting home.

    2400 miles total - 450 miles to Cuba - 450 miles home = 1500 miles of fun riding around Cuba and the Ozarks!

    I had to stop in Jefferson City for and Hour and a half so a thunder storm could pass through. Got a little wet but made it home safe and sound.

    80 degrees and sunshine all the way home...

    or my brain froze and I hallucinated that.

    Well, it helped pass the time anyhow.

    Ruth and I made it home safe. Hope everyone else has a great trip home as well!
