Day 12, August 21, 2008 (The last day on the road)

Today’s post will again be sans photos and short.

We left Mentor, OH this morning about 8:00 and rode highways and toll roads all the way to Kalamazoo, where we got on M-43 and headed home. The weather was warm and maybe a bit humid, but rather pleasant for riding. We ran 65 mph almost all the way, beginning in Cleveland’s rush hour, traveling through Ohio’s flat corn fields, and ending at the shore of Lake Michigan. As you may gather from these few lines, highway travel on 2 wheels is not my idea of the ultimate adventure, but as Charlie said, if you want to get from here to there it’s the fastest way (Charlie really didn’t say that, but it’s close enough).

For those of you who have followed us on our journey and wished us safety along the way; thank you. Further, as for the three intrepid crusaders to whom you were introduced in the first post, we remain friends, and miraculously look forward to riding together again.

Also, I re-read some of the previous posts and found some typos that eluded me as I proofed each night. Thank you for not being too critical of them; maybe someday I’ll even correct them.

That’s all for now, but in the next day or two don’t be surprised to find a final post, wrapping up our 12 day experience.

Welcome home, old friend. Screw the typos. I loved the trip. And I didn't get wet. To bad it's over but glad to have your smiling face back home safe.
