Well Dalen I got a lucky break and caught a local job,

got done at 15:00. Changed clothes, jumped in the cage, and Bingo at Paola at 18:40.

Even beat the bikes back!

Had a great meal at an awesome location,

Dave and Pam have a "to die for place", and a very good time was had around the fire.

Jumped back in the cage at 23:40 and home at 01:50 (hence the cage ride).

Yep I am first out,

phone should ring anytime for work. Got lucky

and slept all night,

Thank you UP for your lack of planning and constant meltdown mode!

It finally worked out for me!

I didn't get to ride

but getting to visit with friends and in a very peaceful location ,with food to boot,

was worth the six hours and 330 miles of cage time.

I just feel bad for those who missed out!
Glad you had a safe and enjoyable ride as well!
