Off to Tucson....Again!

Could have sworn Cadillac Ranch was all in only primer 25 years ago last time I stopped by. At least there was a path to walk out to it this time. I got 1/2 way up in my boots last time.

Yep, hit a solid hour of heavy rain this morning, then mostly dodging it all day. Altered route to I-40 to I-81 north in morning. Stopped in Knoxville for night. If weather behaves, I have less than 800 miles to go. Might make the push so I get through NYC late after rush hour.:qpnmt:

Told my daughter about you. She said, "You mean there's a clown that rides a trike across the country??" And the look from her was...:xzqxz:

I didn't completely explain. I just let the childlike wonderment be.
 
Left Knoxville in pouring rain. 300 miles later it stopped. I was so soaked, the goldfish in my boots were begging for a sump pump. Took my gloves off and aimed my sleeve down. Water poured out. Yes, I had rain gear on. Just didn’t help after a couple hours. In PA, I saw what was ahead and decided to wait for morning to finish. In Carlyle, PA for night. Big car show here this weekend. Lucky to get room with points. Since I was moving a little slower in rain and had wind behind me, got great gas mileage (36 mpg hwy). Also, went 197 miles straight with no stops (in heaviest rain).

Left PA at 4:30am. A couple hours behind last wave of rain. Right through NYC. Home by 8:30am. Left signal bulb needed to be replaced 3 miles from home. Total of 5735 miles. 3 1/2 days going and 4 1/2 days back. I may need a shave, my white whiskers are showing.

More pics and video to follow once I get them out of good camera.

Diannes flight was supposed to get into JFK at 11pm tonight....However, the dippy flight is delayed to Dallas, so they rescheduled her for a later flight into Newark NJ at 12:50am. Go ahead and guess the dipstick who will be driving there later.

Oh, and apparently my mother tripped over something last night and may have cracked something in her hip (active and 80 yrs old). They expect a full recovery. Can’t even blame toys or the kids who left days ago. Blames my father, but just on general principles.
