Made it home at 1:00. Long ride home when leaving friends and a great rally. Thanks Victor and Katy, and everyone who attended to make this another great one.

We arrived home at 3:15 pm Friday afternoon. Needless to say, we were both very disappointed having to head home Friday morning. Nate started turning North and Northeast about 150 miles from the LA coast. We may have had 25 mph winds for a couple of hours. No complaints here. Before the turn the center was headed directly for us. It was great almost seeing everyone again. Thanks Vic and Katie for hosting another great rally. Hope the 10th wasn't the last. Looking forward to seeing you all in Custer. Ride safely.

Y'all were likely more affected by Nate than we were down here.

With a steady rain, the rain increasing and moving East, going through hwy. construction, hurricane refugees, and extra stops for my wife we did about four hundred miles in twelve hours. I was in the biker zone, focused on getting home and full of adrenaline. I think my wife was in the, "If I ever get my ass off this thing, I'll never get back on again' zone. I don't mind bad weather at all. It's a part of it and it gives a story to tell, like when we rode to Key West. Gene, was riding behind me and remembered me holding my arms down to dump the rain out of my jacket when it would puddle up wrists. Oh yeah, Dave insisted strongly that I ride to his house and get his truck and trailer which was a good gesture. All in all, Vic and Katie through another fantastic Rally! On the way out, the temps never broke 75* and it felt like the days when Dad would load us up and head to grandma's for Thanksgiving. I can't wait to do it again!!!!!!

Glad you two are home safe Mike.
I'm sure that after awhile Sue will forget about the rough trip home and be ready to go again.
