Headed towards home

Up at 6:00 am this morning and packed up for the ride home. Just as I was ready to get on the bike it started raining again. Duane left a few minutes earlier so I know he got into it as well. I rode solid rain for an hour or so and then light rain off and on for at least 300 miles. After that it was just cool, 55 or so , for most of the day with over cast skies. At the Missouri/Oklahoma border I got off the Interstate highway and took back roads the rest of the day. The last hour of the day the clouds broke up but there were still thunder storm cells in the distance that looked ominous. The last hour, of the ride, I had terrific side winds that were a struggle to drive with but I made it to my destination in tack. It was a 644 mile day.

I'm spending the night and tomorrow with friends, Jim and Marge Hoobler, in Canadian, TX. Jim is going to show me some of the old west historical things in the area tomorrow.

No time for pictures today.
