Lyn-Del and Wizard (almost) in the house

[Lyn-Del]

The heat returning from Inzane was insane!!  We traveled across Arkansas and into East Texas with the thermometers on the handlebars reading 120 (or more, 120 is as high as they go).  Short distances at a time with long breaks to bring body temps down was the only way we could handle it.

Early Bird called a Valkyrie friend in Texarkana (I'm sorry, my brain was fried and I've forgotten his name), and we holed up at his home for about 3 hours, waiting for the worst of the day's heat to pass.

Once we arrived at home, since the a/c was already set to over 80, I went in, turned the a/c off, set off flea foggers, and we're checked in at the local motel -- I'll go back this evening and turn the a/c back on, and it should be safe to breathe in there tomorrow.

So, we're home but not home.  See why I stay confused?

Great meeting you and Wizard again. Glad that you made it 'almost home' 

As for me, I drove home in AC comfort, talk about wimpin' out!

I'm waiting for a 85 degree day or less before I ride the Vstrom.

Glad you're home (almost )

I hope so.  I got so hot in Texarkana I threatened to rent a car and go get my truck and trailer!!  Returning home after Labor Day last year was the first time I had to do the "ride 30 miles and rest/cool" routine.  Right now, still not recovered from the baking, I'm thinking that if it's gonna be that hot enroute, I may show up in September in a pickup truck!!

I guess the heat next summer may be an issue to keep in mind for Eureka Springs' Inzane Xll
