Home at 3:45pm. Light rain most of the way, left-lane hugging idiots everywhere, and traffic, traffic, traffic. No problem finding gas anywhere when I needed it,

Hope the CEL is nothing serious Scooter! Good seeing you

The first Shell station I visited in Corbin, KY had nothing... went down one more exit and that Shell had everything. I think I just managed to find the one station still sitting without fuel in the area lol.

Made it home to Jacksonville, FL around 6pm. Most of the gas stations on our way home south was out of gas.
Found an Exxon in Dillard, GA and Shell close to Valdosta, GA that just got their delivery.
Great to catch up with everyone who didn't make it to the Fall Run last year. Can't wait to for Fall!

Had breakfast at Deal's and made it home about 1:30. The drive home was smooth sailing the whole way. It was a fantastic weekend! Thank you to everyone who came and made it great! I hope to see everyone in the fall!

Left Fontana at 5am and got home about 4:0pm. Longer than normal but I ran into tons of construction traffic and the aftermath of an accident. North of Dayton I-75 was down to one lane while they removed a 5 foot high pile of hay which was blocking the 2 right lanes. Had a great time and can't wait to do it again in the fall.

Glad to be able to make the last second visit and see the familiar faces and meet a few new ones. My almost 6 year old had a blast on the drives and stars, ice cream and bakery stops really made her day. I didn't get to say hi to everyone but there's always next time. We were supposed to leave at noon Saturday but the little one wanted to keep going. So finally after finishing the entire Cherohala drive, she wanted one more run thru the Dragon and we set off at 4pm and made it home at 745pm. Hope to see you guys again soon!

Hope we didn't hold you up. It was Hannah AP2, and I.
