For all those fellow rallyites who wished us well on our trip home today -- and those who questioned our sanity -- we made it safely, arriving in the Raleigh area just in time to participate in the local version of rush hour.
448 miles! Longer than we thought. Did someone say "windy"? Yes, spent all day working at keeping the moho from moving east with the quartering NW wind. Best part of the day was getting 72 gallons of fuel at the Latta, SC Flying J at $3.14/gal. With our 1 cent/gallon FJ reward discount and the 3% discount from American Express, we got as close to $3/gallon as we have been in a LONG time!
To top off the day, after unloading the moho into the stick house and driving it out to the place where we keep it and backing it into the garage in the dark then driving back to Cary, when we stopped for a bite at Bojangles, I discovered I'd left my wallet in the moho!
Mary Ann was very nice to me during the 30 mile roundtrip to retrieve my wallet. Much nicer than I deserved!
Once again, thanks to Gary and Nancy for hosting another wonderful SE Rally! Special thanks, too, to Jeff and Sue for cheerfully turning out breakfast omelets 2, count'em, 2 days in a row! And thanks to all the other friends old and new who pitched in to make the rally a fun success.
Bless you all. Until next time.....
