I made it back from Middletown NY to my home (920 miles) in 13 hours and 45 minutes on FB. I did mostly "splash and dashes", meaning I would bomb out 240 miles or so and then pull into a gas station, use my debit card to fill up FB's 7 gallon gas tank and then bomb-on down the highway.
I saw a motorcycle accident on I-81 in PA. The accident had just happened and there were no rescue or police on the scene, but there were people assisting the motorcyclist who was laying in the middle of the median. There were other motorcycles parked on the shoulder. The accident happened on the northbound side, and I was going south. I could not find any info on the accident - I hope the rider was not seriously injured - he did have a helmet on.
I also saw a black bear on the side of the road in the "State Game Lands".
It was sunny and nice - even got hot near the end across Indiana and into Illinois. I did not have any trouble bombing through the Chicago area on 80 - surprisingly.
Now I can relax and watch a little football today.
No little 4-gallon SV holdin' the tanker back on that run!! lol. Amen to a safe ride home. I kept looking for your headlight in my right rear mirror constantly...
