Back in the Saddle Again -- Finally Home.

With the wind at our backs and speed on our side we speed off on the I10 yesterday morning headed west. Making it only about 2 miles from our origin we had to turn around because - yours truly - forgot something. So after a quick reset we barreled our way out of Arizona.

Around 1pm we crossed the the state line and were slowed by the California checkpoint. "All Traffic Must Stop", the sign read.
So we did.

As we slowed to the checkpoint and I rolled down my window I readied myself to explain where i was coming from and where i was headed or to answer questions about the transport of agricultural products. Instead the guard saw our California plates and simply waved us on saying: "Have a nice day."

Indeed we were going to have a nice day. We were headed home after a month of being on the road.

We encountered some deep fog on highway 145 just west of Madera which impaired our average speed of 80mph and put us at a humble 20mph for about 1 hour and then arrived in Turlock just a little past 9pm.
