Best Laid Plans, Hope Everyone Made It Home Safe

[Tango]

Glad that everyone is getting home safe. We have finally made it home. About 45 minutes ago. The state of MO. is a disaster. The National Guard has been called out. So glad we left early on Friday. Even then we came across sections of 44 that were closed due to flooding. To those naysayers that are saying we should have stuck it out. I guess you weren't there. We were disappointed in Vendor Village. If not for Value Accessories, Spyderpops, TRICLEDS, F4 and Jim and his wife doing alignments. It would have been a total no show. BRP? They had a spin the wheel to get prizes. A patch, pin, or if you were lucky. A Bandana. MOGANG did an awesome job as usual. Hopefully there weren't any more burglaries. Met up with a lot of old friends, made some new ones. Hope Jeff from Great Britain enjoyed his Spyderfest. And gets home safe. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

I also left Saturday morning. Due to the storm front to the west I went south to Little Rock It was a beautiful ryde. Then went west towards Texas. When I got to Sulfur Springs I ran into that storm the destroyed Canton. The sirens were going off and a lady came out and said there was a half mile wide tornado headed our way. I spent about an hour there taking cover. I could see debris falling and people running around in a panic. I checked MY Radar App and could see a clear signature of a tornado heading right for us. Thanks to God it went back up right before it hit us. I saw a map on Dallas Morning news and the path of that tornado ended right where we were. Whew!:shocked:

Okay, I give up. It seems as though this discussion is about Spyderfest. Can someone please tell me what BWCH+ means?

Thanks.

Travel progress...
Mike (BLUEKNIGHT911) stopped by my place last evening at 6:00pm.
We had a nice visit about SpyderFest. He still had about 250 mile until he got back home, so I kicked him on out, and sent him on his way!

There was some conversations in the Party Room about how this year's Spyderfest was "just a little off" compared to previous years. One explanation that came up was that Plan A fell through @the "last minute", and Plan B @the Fairgrounds had to come into play. The weather(again) and the break-ins didn't help with the atmosphere surrounding the event. The MOGANG did the BEST they could with the "hand" they were delt by all the circumstances. Had one great day of riding(Thursday) with Tango and Ali to Devil's Elbow and the Elbow Inn.

In northwest Kansas yesterday, they closed I-70 to the Colorado line and most of the other highways due to winter storm conditions. I hope anyone heading NW from Spyderfest didn't get caught in it.
