On my way to SpyderQuest

[PrairieSpyder]

I left home this morning & I've stopped for lunch. I'm going to SQ by way of Poplar Bluff, Mo, where JT will install some stuff on my Spyder.

A shout out to the Spyder riders I met when I stopped for gas. They live in Grain Valley, Mo. He's an Aussie. He said he's on SL but couldn't remember his handle. She's in GOS.

That's a pretty good run at 480 miles today... bet she is tired when she gets here.

I'm at Pitbull now. At a light a guy told my trailer light doesn't work. So they've fixed it.

I don't think Patti will make it for dinner but we'll leave the light on...

Have a safe ride. Five Spyders are leaving here on Tuesday morning, sticking to back roads to make a two day trip of it to Lake George . . . and we pick up a sixth Spyder on the morning of day two . . .

[Red RT-S]

Have a safe ride. We'll be looking for you in Lake George.

Leaving from Chelsea on Thursday morning around 07:45AM.
Going down the 416 to Ogdensburg then the scenic route trough the mountains.

If anyone want to join us, we can meet somewhere along the route.

If not, we will meet you at SpyderQuest.

Safe travels everyone and we will see you there.

Now I've settled in to a Comfort Inn in Willow Springs, I've had supper, and can post from my lap-top instead of my phone. So my posts can be a bit more informative. I got really tired & sleepy this afternoon between KC and Springfield. That sometimes happens on my first travel day because I may not have slept so well the night before. I also was avoiding colas along the way, but not drinking enough water. Dehydration and lack of caffeine can be deadly!! At one point not far from Springfield I must have dozed and my right tire went onto the shoulder where the pavement was a bit lower than the road lane. It startled me and I got back onto the road. I had planned on stopping at Pitbull to say "Hi" and maybe get some coffee. At a light a guy told me my trailer lights weren't working, so asked them to look at it at Pitbull. They replaced the trailer wiring module (?) - $160 and I was on my way.

I'm still about 2 hours from JT's. He was gracious enough to let me come tomorrow morning instead of tonight, and I'll get some rest. now.

I can't wait to meet ya'll at SQ!!

I stopped in Elizabethtown, Ky, after 386 miles today. I've realized I am no candidate for Iron-butt, for sure!! I'd planned on going to Niagara Falls on the way and spending 2 nights and 1 day there. At the rate I'm going though, I think I'll just meander on up to Lake George and hit the Falls on the way home, instead. If I have the time I may do Skyline Drive on the way. I'll head that direction and then decide.

I got the JT accessory bar and USB power outlets on both sides of my dash. Now I can use my iPhone as a GPS (at least until I remember where I put my real GPS at home) and my Spot device, too.

At Pitbull yesterday I visited with a gal named Laura who was getting an ST. She's from Springfield and had been to Spyderfest before. She's already a GOS member and ready to roll. I have no idea of her SL handle, though.

[Edit] Also, the last time I got gas, I was approached by a man (in Ky) who is from Texas. He said as soon as he settles some other debts, he's going to get a Spyder. He's already test-drove one. I let him know about SL.

See ya Wednesday!
