We took our time coming home,got here around 3PM.Had long traffic delays on 80 south of Chicago.Time we got east of Chicago on 94 we stopped for a light lunch.We got out of our heavy jackets and I took off my chaps.When we got home I discovered my rally vest was missing.I called back to the restaurant but they could not find it in the parking lot,so it must have fallen out coming on home.Can buy a new vest but all those patches from all those rallys are irreplaceable.My good memories will always be there but my vest was a keepsake.Guess I'll have to start over,LOL. Diane and I would like to thank you all for making our weekend so enjoyable.You meet the nicest people on a Triumph!!

I rolled into home last night at 10 PM with a total of 913 miles for the trip for me. We stopped a number of times for the grand kids to have fun and just putter around including stopping a Cabela's in Prairie Du Chein and a few other "woman" stops and lunch and supper, they didn't have AC in the van, they said I had it too nice on the bike. My son kept offering to "spell" me on the bike so I could "rest"...somehow I just had enough "life" left in me to complete the trip on my bike!  No rain but as soon as the sun went down I was hammered with more bugs in 30 minutes than I was on the whole of 4400 miles of the trip out west! It was so great to see you all again and to meet a few new people. Those who could not make it were missed.

Had a pleasant, uneventful, ride home yesterday. Ended up with over 700 miles on the clock for the weekend. I already have a couple of ideas for next year, I think stagecoach trail needs some attention. Lily and I had a wonderful time, enjoyed seeing old friends, and making some new ones.
