    Joe,
    Glad to hear that you and Kathy made it home O.K. It was really foggy in Cuba this morning. My wife and I are back home in Spring Hill KS. We drove thorugh rain most of the way. We were trying out a new Aluma trailer,trailering the RT behind our Ford Edge. This was one tme I was glad that we trailered the bike. It was awesome seeing that many Spyders in one place this weekend.

    Thanks for the great ride. Made it home no problems but now I got to get caught up on that four letter word.

    It took us an extra hour to get home to Manhattan, KS mostly because we stopped for HOT coffee a couple of times but we made it through the fog and some fairly hard rain and got home and warm. Penny

    Ron and Frenchie got home about 6:30 Sunday night. No problems, only small amount of rain. The cool temps started to make things unpleasant after about 7 hours of riding. Spiderfest was even better this than last, can't wait til next year!

    Some Girl and I got home about 11:30EDT last night...cold and wet! We avoided the rain almost all way because it was staying north of us, but eventually we had to turn north. We didn't get really hard rain, but enough to make it annoying.

    Haven't heard from Firefly...Indiana troopers had him the last time we saw him!!! I think they were about to do a strip search!

    Number Two: 2012 RT-S Limited (the poop colored RT) I still have Number One, but Some Girl made me buy Number Two...

    Joanie and I made it home safely. Started out Sunday morning in fog so thick that you could cut it with a knife. That lifted after an hour, but we did hit some light mist and then a deluge when we only a few miles from home. Had a blast! One of these years I'd love to enjoy this from a participant point of view instead of being one of the organizers, but I doubt that will ever happen. See you all back here next year!

    Default Made it home

    Left Cuba at 930 on Sunday, passed a few Spyders heading East and West on I-44. Had to stop in St. Louis, something about having tickets to the Cardinals v. Brewers game on Sunday. Party suite to boot. Stopped for the night in Murray, TN. The rest of the trip was smooth sailing. I feel for you Lamont, a lot of us have to deal with that four letter word.

    Default Made it home, muddy but dry!

    Left Cuba 7:45AM and home in Cincinnati about 5:00PM. Stayed dry the whole trip but the Spyder got pelted with HUGE mudball road debris from the Spyder in front of me. Many of us looked like we took our Spyders off road.

    Default Home again!

    Chas and I got home 1130 this morning. We left 0800 on Sunday and found our way through the fog to I70 and taught the To swim. We made it to Concordia MO and called it due to weather. The front stretched from Cuba all the way to SD so there was no riding out of it. We left this morning about 0730 and enjoyed the drizzle until we pulled into the drive way and......Voila! The sun came out...go figure.

    butch and paula made it back(wnet into limp mode a bunch again and found out the tuner car tail light bulbs went out randomly and have stocks back in, big thanks to butch for the help with this) and I made it back, jim and I got soaked as did the inlaws. its 67, sunny and calm in dirt town. Was the best spyderfest ever, and of course jim busted his shifting fork on the way back and almost killed me with a highway peg that flew off his bike.

    ALWAYS a misadventure.

    I said goodby to Lamonster at the watt's road BP around 6.30, can you believe I made it 140 miles and still had a gallon of gas. I had a great time and look forward to next year.
