    Default I made it home

    I got home about 5 pm, I think. Fred and I rode together here and then he went on to Salina, Ks, for the night. I hope he'll check in as he rides to Washington alone.

    It was in the 60s in Springfield when we left and just got colder and windier as we neared my town. I'm going to look into some heated gear.

    I learned more about my new F3T on the ryde. I'll post more about that later, after I've had some rest from all the fun at SpyderFest!

    We got home about 5:30p and I was able to get my grass cut. We wore our rain gear the whole time but never needed it.

    Now, it's back to work... for 212 more days!

    Waiting to hear about your F3 experience.

    We stayed and rode in the Ozarks Sunday, so we got home tonight. Took about 10 hrs trailering 565 miles, but the poor 4 cyl Ford Escape had quite a load to pull. Time to upgrade the tow vehicle...LOL....Glad to see folks checking in safe n sound

    Please post your F3 review (likes, dislikes and differences) on a new thread. I don't want to miss it. I talked with Murphy Brown the other day and she said she was going to do a write-up, too.

    Patti,

    Glad that you are home safe and sound!

    Kathy and I made it home today. Would have been yesterday, but Mother Nature decided that more rain was needed in the area's that we were traveling so we stopped early to dry off and warm up.

    See you at the 3 wheel rally!

    Apparently Mother Nature didn't look at the calendar and she thought it was February instead of May. I had my heated gear on almost constantly until we hit Kingman, AZ. My streak of dry weather riding has ended too.

    I've been thinking about you, Fred. I hadn't heard from you in several days, and was wondering if you'd made it. Now clean off those bugs and relax a while.

    Are you going to the 3-wheel rally in Deadwood in July?
