Thumbs Up Home

And that's it. Home safe at 4:30 today.

Rain wasn't too bad till I hit the west side of Snoqualmie Pass on I-90. It was bad enough that I settled in behind a semi in the right lane, far enough back so that I was out of his spray and wash. He was going a nice easy 60 and I could tell what the road was doing. Got off on Hwy 18 and the rain let up. Another 40 miles and I was in the garage.

There you have it.

Congrats, Charlie! That must have been one hell of a ride.

Are you planning your next trip yet?

I thought sure I was gonna get wet coming over Snoqualmie Pass a few days before. The only rain I ended up riding through on my ten day run was the little squall we hit just before Susanville, CA. I still can't believe it.... Glad you had a safe run mate.....
